Duncan Bell’s remarkable book \u003ci\u003eDreamworlds of Race\u003c\/i\u003e brings that history to light with both scholarly rigor and narrative flair.\"\u003cb\u003e---Bassam Sidiki, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In the United Kingdom and the United States in the late nineteenth century, a multitude of thinkers advanced new and often startling visions of the future of the global order. In this masterly book, Bell explores the ideas of some of the most intriguing figures of this era, illuminating their dreams of a world-dominating Anglo-American political community united by race and empire. This is intellectual history at its best.\"\u003cb\u003e---G. John Ikenberry, \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eDreamworlds of Race\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful and profound statement that provides a definitive intellectual history of imperial era thought and deftly demonstrates its inseparability from liberalism and racial and cultural hierarchy. For students of history, politics, international relations, and even literature, its interdisciplinary appeal should make it essential reading. Ranging in widely in scope, and written with elegance and aplomb, the work is a distinguished and indispensable contribution to our understanding of how geo-political fear and ambition rested on highly racialized conceptions of nation and empire.\"\u003cb\u003e---Robert Singh, \u003ci\u003eEthnic \u0026amp; Racial Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eDreamworlds of Race\u003c\/i\u003e deserves to be read by a wide audience. It is an excellent work drawing together numerous strands of Anglo-American imaginations and revealing the tensions and hopes pinned on utopian racial thinking.\"\u003cb\u003e---James Watts, \u003ci\u003eJournal of Victorian Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A hugely impressive, and topic defining, achievement. . . .

Bell’s opus is as much a necessary read for those seeking to better comprehend the world order reimaginings in the period . . . as British PM Boris Johnson’s contemporary ‘Global Britain’.\"\u003cb\u003e---Stephanie Prévost, \u003ci\u003eEuropean Review of International Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It would be a fool’s errand to try to convey the book’s richness and detail.—Inder S.
