Trade Review“Amir Al-Azraki’s excellent translation of Nader Kadhem’s book brilliantly fills a critical gap in our understanding of the history of racism in Arab societies. This captivating and well-researched work is suitable for both academic and general audiences.” Abderrahman Beggar, author of L’Amérique latine sous une perspective maghrébine
