Trade Review
"When did racial differences become racial prejudices? . . . Sujata Iyengar argues in this bold book that the search for a 'straightforward historical trajectory' from racialism to racism ought to be resisted. She argues that the history of 'race' as a literary, cultural, and social construct is far more polyvalent than has been previously acknowledged." * Sixteenth Century Journal *
"A work of impressive scholarship." * The Historian *
