Book SynopsisAn updated and condensed version of the landmark work on the psychological impact of prejudice and discrimination.Spanning four volumes, the first edition of The Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provided a much-needed cornerstone work on one of the most crucial issues in the United States today.Trade Review"President Obama's biracial background serves as a springboard for the revised, condensed edition of this landmark four-volume edition published in 2004. Chin (advanced psychological studies, Adelphi U., Garden City, NJ) introduces 17 chapters presenting diverse theoretical and personal perspectives on sexism, prejudice against sexual and other minorities, and people with disabilities, as well as racism. Updates include a new introduction and conclusion presenting developments, successes, and failures in fighting prejudice and discrimination. Chapters include toolboxes for ways to achieve cultural competence and change at the individual and system levels." - Reference & Research Book News"Outside academia, practitioners in clinical and counseling psychology are especially likely to find this volume valuable, as are psychiatrists and social workers and potentially educators and policymakers....The latest edition of The Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination serves as a timely reminder that the discipline of psychology remains relevant to the understanding and improvement of intergroup relations, despite the claim by some political commentators that the election of President Obama stands as proof that the United States is postracial. Moreover, Chin’s latest edition simultaneously indicates how far the United States has come and how far the United States has to go in fulfilling its own egalitarian creed." - PsycCRITIQUES

Explored next are the development of prejudice in children and the social context of prejudice. The theme of discrimination is developed via discussioTable of ContentsPreface. Acknowledgmets. 1.

Book SynopsisMany ideas about poverty and discrimination are nothing more than politically driven assertions unsupported by evidence. And even politically neutral studies that do try to assess evidence are often simply unreliable. In Poverty and Discrimination, economist Kevin Lang cuts through the vast literature on poverty and discrimination to determine what we actually know and how we know it. Using rigorous statistical analysis and economic thinking to judge what the best research is and which theories match the evidence, this book clears the ground for students, social scientists, and policymakers who want to understand--and help reduce--poverty and discrimination. It evaluates how well antipoverty and antidiscrimination policies and programs have worked--and whether they have sometimes actually made the problems worse. And it provides new insights about the causes of, and possible solutions to, poverty and discrimination. The book begins by asking, Who is poTrade ReviewHonorable Mention for the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Sociology and Social Work, Association of American Publishers "This volume could be usefully employed as a textbook in upper-level undergraduate and more advanced courses in poverty and discrimination, as well as a reference work for specialists... Highly recommended."--Choice "Poverty and Discrimination is social science at its best. The issues are interesting, the analysis is first rate, the organization is excellent, and ... [the] data is exemplary."--Arnold Kling, EconLog "Kevin Lang has written a significant book that assesses recent developments in the study of poverty and discrimination, reviews the formal theories, and provides insight into their validity through statistical analysis; in essence, a book that addresses the basic issues of poverty and discrimination. It is an excellent text for economists, social scientists, and public policy makers."--Kathryn Goering Reid, Journal of Children and Poverty "Readers of the book will become better critics of statistical evidence used in policy debate sand more skeptical of strong claims about a policy's success (or failure). They also will more fully understand the difficulty of conducting highly credible policy research and crafting effective policies."--Rohert D. Plotnick, Industrial and Labor Relations Review "Lang has written an excellent book that can serve as a useful tool for researchers, students, and policymakers. The author clearly is an expert in the field who has thoroughly researched his topic."--Casey P. Homan, Monthly Labor ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgments xi Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.

Book SynopsisEconomic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. This revised and enlarged edition also analyzes the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of these disparities and the policies based on that vision--from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the Ralph J.

Book SynopsisAddressing core questions about prejudice and stereotyping--their causes, consequences, and how to reduce them--this noted text is now in a thoroughly revised third edition with 50% new material. Written in an engaging, conversational style, the book brings social-psychological theories and research to life with compelling everyday examples. The text explores the personal and societal impacts of different forms of prejudice. Students learn about the cognitive, emotional, motivational, contextual, and personality processes that make stereotyping and prejudice more (or less) likely to occur. The book reviews anti-bias interventions and critically evaluates the evidence for their effectiveness. Every chapter concludes with an instructive glossary and discussion questions. New to This Edition *Full chapter on implicit prejudice. *Chapters on anti-gay and anti-fat prejudice. *New or updated discussions of timely topics: how children develop prejudice, structuraTrade Review"I look forward to using Nelson and Olson's book as the primary text in my undergraduate courses on stereotyping, prejudice, and intergroup relations. The book is easy to read, covers a century-long history of social-psychological research on stereotyping and prejudice from several perspectives (for example, personality versus situational antecedents, implicit versus explicit measures, perceiver's versus target's experiences), and addresses prejudice in different intergroup contexts, including race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, and body size. I particularly like the discussion questions at the end of each chapter, which will help students truly engage with the material and with one another."--Kimberly Rios, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign "What sets this text apart is its integration of real-world examples with psychological theories and empirical evidence to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding prejudice. The third edition is meticulously updated and enriched with the latest research and contemporary examples. By delving into the psychological mechanisms at play, the text offers profound insights into why prejudice persists and how it can be effectively addressed to foster a more inclusive and equitable society. This is an indispensable text for undergraduate courses on the psychology of prejudice."--Jeff Stone, PhD, University Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of Arizona "This book offers a comprehensive examination of the study of intergroup bias. While much of the literature in the field focuses on Black–White relations, the third edition also addresses sexism, ageism, heterosexism, and anti-fat prejudice, detailing the nuances associated with different forms of prejudice. Importantly, the final chapter is devoted to the reduction of prejudice. I appreciate the way the book discusses the historical foundations of this work while also bringing us up to date on contemporary perspectives and questions. This book is a perfect companion for all students of prejudice, regardless of their career stage."--Keith B. Maddox, PhD, Department of Psychology, Tufts University-Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis fifth volume in the Brill Research Perspectives in Comparative Discrimination Law surveys the field of comparative race discrimination law for the purpose of providing an introduction to the nature of comparing systems of discrimination and the transnational search for effective equality laws and policies. This volume includes the perspectives of racialized subjects (subalterns) in the examination of the reach of the laws on the ground. It engages a variety of legal and social science resources in order to compare systems across a number of contexts (such as the United States, Canada, France, South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Israel, India, and others). The goal is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of anti-discrimination legal devices to aid in the study of law reform efforts across the globe centered on racial equality.Table of ContentsRacial Discrimination  Tanya Kateri Hernandez  Abstract  Keywords  Part 1: Comparative Law’s Resistance to Race  Part 2: Procedural Law Comparisons as to Equality Claims  Part 3: Definitions of Discrimination, Equality and Race Discrimination  Part 4: Criminal v.

Book SynopsisThis important title introduces the reader to the key theoretical and empirical issues concerning the topical field of law and economics of discrimination. The book begins with readings from Gary Becker's seminal work on the economics of discrimination followed by a series of papers that try to evaluate the degree of discrimination in labour markets and the extent to which government intervention has reduced this discrimination. In addition to examining discrimination on the basis of race, gender, and sexual orientation in the labour market, Professor Donohue explores the problem of discrimination in various consumer markets, in the criminal justice sphere, in education and in health care.Trade Review‘This collection assembles many of the most important law and economics articles on discrimination. Together, these articles show the progress that has been made in the last twenty years in using empirical evidence and field experiments to assess the nature and extent of discrimination in different areas, such as labor markets, credit markets, education and criminal justice.’ -- Jonathan Levin, Stanford University, USTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction John J.

Book SynopsisPrejudice against Muslims has a long and complex history. In recent decades, discrimination, violence, and human rights abuses against Muslims have taken a significant turn, with rising reports and discussions of Islamophobia across the globe. However, much of the conversation has missed the key features of this increasingly insidious phenomenon.This original book puts race at the center of the analysis, exposing the global racialization of Muslims. With special attention paid to the United States, China, India, and the United Kingdom, the authors examine both the unique national contexts and – crucially – the shared characteristics of anti-Muslim racism. They uncover how a range of counterterrorism policies, from hyper-surveillance to racialized policing, and the ensuing representation of Islam, have taken a decisive role in shaping social life for Muslims and have worked across borders to justify and institutionalize an acceptable, state-sponsored face of racism.Ultimately, A Global Racial Enemy argues that anti-Muslim animus is a symptom of a global and powerful form of twenty-first-century racism.Trade Review“Deftly weaving theory, history, and sociology across continents, this book is an essential read for understanding why a systemic analysis of race and racism must include the experiences of Muslims.”Sahar Aziz, Rutgers University Law School“The authors deploy a convincing argument, backed by persuasive data, that anti-Muslim racism is a global phenomenon that relies on a shared notion of threat, irrespective of varying national visions and agendas, and one that animates a worldwide surveillance industry. Persuasive, powerful, and highly recommended.”Louise Cainkar, Marquette University“This impressive, urgently needed book changes our understanding of the global nature of anti-Muslim racism, offering unparalleled insights into the differences and surprising similarities in how Muslims are demonized. An essential read.”Evelyn Alsultany, University of Southern CaliforniaTable of ContentsIntroduction – Muslim Global Racialization: 21st-Century Racism Chapter 1 – Muslim Histories: Contextualizing the Global War on Terror Chapter 2 – The Media and the Racialization of Muslims: Constructing a Global Threat Chapter 3 – The Global Racialization of Muslims and the Rise in Nationalism and Populism Chapter 4 – Global Counterterrorism Policies: Racializing Muslims via Surveillance, Policing, and Detention Conclusion: Where Do We Go from Here?

Book SynopsisThis monograph reconceptualises discrimination law as fundamentally concerned with stigma. Using sociological and socio-psychological theories of stigma, the author presents an ‘anti-stigma principle’, promoting it as a method to determine the scope of legal protection from discrimination. The anti-stigma principle recognises the role of institutional and individual action in the perpetuation of discrimination. Setting discrimination law within the field of public health, it frames positive action and intersectional discrimination as the norm in this field of law rather than the exception. In developing and applying this new theory for anti-discrimination law, the book draws upon case law from jurisdictions including the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada, as well as European law.Trade ReviewSolanke’s monograph offers a genuinely innovative theory of antidiscrimination law, embracing an interdisciplinary approach that remains all too rare in legal scholarship ... Focusing on the link between law and society can only be a good thing, particularly in such trying times. Solanke’s monograph is highly recommended. It is a much-needed contribution to anti-discrimination scholarship. -- William Linton, Queen Mary, University of London * Industrial Law Journal *...the author deserves praise for daring to tackle this subject in depth – something that has not been common amongst legal scholars until now ... In doing so, she has aided not only in highlighting the importance of the concept of stigma to questions regarding legal issues but also in encouraging others to follow suit. -- Paul Quinn, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium * International Journal of Discrimination and the Law *It is rare that practitioners stand back and consider the theories, basic principles, the ideology and even the sociology underlying the legal concepts that are the day-to-day bread and butter of substantive law. When they do, as in the UNISON ET fees challenge, resulting in the Supreme Court's focus on the meaning of the concept of the rule of law and the role of access to the courts in maintaining the rule of law, the result may go far beyond expectations. Engaging with Solanke's work suggests a similar potential. -- Sally Robertson * Discrimination Law Association Briefings *Solanke’s project ... is doubtless a worthy one. And Solanke’s emphasis on stigma as a key ingredient in a successful theory of discrimination law is a constructive contribution, pointing the way for future work in this rich field of inquiry. -- Benjamin Eidelson * Ethics *Investigating the causal link between stigmatisation and discrimination is ... the agenda set by Solanke in her perspective-shifting and timely book Discrimination as Stigma: A Theory of Anti-Discrimination Law. By shifting the focus to stigmatisation, the book sheds a new light on discrimination theory... Solanke's book is both inspiring and thought-provoking. It can be highly recommended. -- Raphaële Xenidis * European Journal of Legal Studies *Table of ContentsIntroduction I. Construction of the Anti-stigma Principle II.

Book SynopsisEPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Freedom of religion and belief is crucial to any sustainable development process, yet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pay little attention to religious inequalities. This book offers a comprehensive overview of how efforts to achieve SDGs can be enhanced by paying greater attention to freedom of religion and belief. In particular, it illustrates how poverty is often a direct result of religious prejudice and how religious identity can shape a person’s job prospects, their children’s education and the quality of public services they receive. Drawing on evidence from Asia, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, the book foregrounds the lived experiences of marginalized communities as well as researchers and non-state actors.Table of Contents1.

Book Synopsis`The book will be of interest, and easily read by anyone working with a multi-ethnic clientele and should be required reading for anyone in the field of mental health'-Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry`I recommend this book as an important addition to the literature on mental health and on racism…this is a book well worth readying and studying.'- Transcultural Psychiatry Sept 2005`Kam Bhui makes a valuable and important contribution to our understanding of culture and ethnicity. I strongly advise all psychiatrists, both consultants and trainees, to read this book and to respond honestly to the challenges it presents. It demonstrates the value of political and social analyses of our work in the training of psychiatrists. But for me, its greatest value is in the way it shows how we must acknowledge the influence of our own histories and cultural backgrounds on the way we approach our work and those we struggle to help. The Other will cease to be an Other only when we accept the Other in ourselves.'-British Journal of Psychiatry`This is a refreshing addition to the growing body of literature on racism and mental health. Bhui draws together personal and professional experiences with current research evidence to provide a cogent analysis of the relationship between racism and mental health from both theoretical and experiential perspectives. The particular strength of this model is that it is anchored in the lived experiences of black service users…[It] should be a call to action for all mental health practitioners.'-Mental Health today`The book provides an excellent illustration of the extent of institutional racism, not just in mental health, but within the NHS as a whole and should be widely used particularly in education institutions and medical schools.'- community practitionerThis thought-provoking book investigates the impact of racism (both conscious and unconscious) in mental health settings, covering individual clinical encounters and the broader picture of service provision. The authors offer insights into manifestations of racism in contemporary Britain; racial and cultural identity and the significance of these in psychotherapy; and the inequalities in provision of mental health services to minority ethnic communities. They consider the problems of racism and mental health, not in isolation but in the larger context of cultural difference and social inequalities, and also on the level of human relationships.Bringing together the experiences of mental health professionals and incorporating a service user's perspective, this book provides many practical strategies for addressing racism and dealing with its effects in psychiatric work, and will prove useful and informative to practitioners in many areas of mental health work.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisOn the Nature of Prejudice commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Gordon Allport's classic work on prejudice and discrimination by examining the current state of knowledge in the field. A distinguished collection of international scholars considers Allport's impact on the field, reviews recent developments, and identifies promising directions for future investigation. Organized around Allport''s central themes, this book provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive view of where the field has been, where it is now, and where it is going.Trade Review"To simultaneously take stock of research on prejudice and mark the 50th anniversary of Gordon Allport's The Nature of Prejudice, a prolific group of 44 authors collaborated to produce a set of reviews that will surely guide the next 50 years of prejudice research. The resulting book, On the Nature of Prejudice: Fifty Years After Allport, reveals such a rich sense of dialogue, cooperation, and thoughtful regard for posterity that it reads like no ordinary academic text. Words like “wide-ranging,” “respectful,” “scholarly,” “comprehensive,” and “truly ground-breaking” came to mind as I read deliberations about why Allport's work remains so influential today, the new insights that have emerged in the field, and potential directions for future investigations." PsycCRITIQUES "This outstanding volume is more than just a well-written and entertaining homage to the work of Gordon Allport, arguably one of the most influential and insightful students of prejudice in the 20th century. In addition, this book has managed to assemble most of the leading scholars in the field and induce them to think clearly and succinctly about our present state of knowledge and to sketch out the several theoretical issues that remain to be clarified by future research. The overall result is a volume that is simply a tour de force and a “must read” for anyone seriously interested in deepening their understanding of the frustratingly complex issues of prejudice and intergroup conflict in the modern world." James Sidanius, UCLA “Even while acknowledging that Gordon Allport continues to dominate the agenda for prejudice research, this volume's contributions reveal many new insights based on the original and wide-ranging research of the authors - often calling for revision of Allport's thinking.” Anthony G. Greenwald, University of Washington “The idea of building an edited volume around Allport’s classic book is brilliant, and the timing could not be better.” Marilynn Brewer, Ohio State University "This book is an impressive addition to the literature in social psychology... certainly an excellent 'one stop-shop' for mainstream social psychology research on prejudice." Kenneth McKenzie, Trinity College, Dublin. Social Psychologyical Review, April 2006 "All in all, there can be no doubt that Gordon Allport laid the foundation for research on prejudice. However, we think the editors and authors of this volume have successfully built on that solid base by adding their own theoretical and empirical layers, ones that further strengthen the field’s knowledge for the future."

Book SynopsisUn análisis brillante y valiente sobre el verdadero origen de las desigualdades económicasLos resultados socioeconómicos difieren enormemente entre individuos, grupos y países. Se han ofrecido muchas razones para justificar este fenómeno. Algunos creen que los menos afortunados son víctimas de los más privilegiados; otros piensan que las desigualdades responden a factores genéticos.Thomas Sowell, en cambio, cuestiona la extendida idea de que la explicación de estas diferencias pueda reducirse a un único factor. Porque, si ni siquiera hay una igualdad de resultados entre hermanos que han sido criados bajo el mismo techo, por qué deberíamos esperarla para aquellos que parten de condiciones muy diferentes?Discriminación y disparidades demuestra con datos que la desigualdad de resultados no implica necesariamente discriminación, porque las distintas dotaciones iniciales de los sujetos influyen en el logro del éxito, incluidos factores naturales o fruto del azar que n

Book SynopsisIdentity and Discrimination This updated edition of Identity and Discrimination, first published in 1990 and the first book by well-known philosopher Timothy Williamson, is now reissued with the inclusion of significant new material. This major work influential in philosophy of perception and the theory of vagueness continues in an original and rigorous way to highlight the necessity of discrimination and the thresholds which determine the approximate criteria of identity. Williamson's proposal for an original and rigorous theory links identity, a relation central to metaphysics, and indiscriminability, a relation central to epistemology. He provides a distinctive cognitive account of the nature of discrimination, with important applications to the philosophy of perception and the theory of vagueness. The book pioneers the use of epistemic logic to solve the notorious paradoxes of indiscriminability, and develops the application of techniques from mathematical lTable of ContentsPreface to the Revised Edition ix Preface to the First Edition xiii Introduction 1 1 Concepts of Indiscriminability 4 1.1 Indiscriminability and Cognition 5 1.2 Formal Features of Indiscriminability 10 1.3 The Intentionality of Indiscriminability 14 1.4 Direct and Indirect Discrimination 20 1.5 Further Reflections 21 2 Logics of Indiscriminability 24 2.1 Logical Apparatus 24 2.2 The Non-Transitivity of Indiscriminability 34 3 Paradoxes of Indiscriminability 43 4 Concepts of Phenomenal Character 48 4.1 Presentations of Characters 50 4.2 Presentation-Sensitivity 54 4.3 The Identity of Characters 62 5 Logics of Phenomenal Character 65 5.1 Maximal M-Relations 65 5.2 Ignorance and Indeterminacy 73 5.3 Matching the Same Experiences 82 6 Paradoxes of Phenomenal Character 88 6.1 The Paradox of Observational Predicates 89 6.2 The Paradox of Phenomenal Predicates 93 6.3 The Failure of Observationality 99 6.4 Sorites Arguments and Necessary Ignorance 103 7 Generalizations 109 7.1 Maximal M-Relations as Minimal Revisions 109 7.2 Examples 114 7.3 Necessary Conditions for Personal Identity 116 7.4 Sufficient Conditions 121 7.5 Close Relations 123 8 Modal and Temporal Paradoxes 126 8.1 A Modal Paradox 126 8.2 Two Temporal Paradoxes 135 8.3 Comparisons 142 9 Criteria of Identity 144 9.1 Forms 144 9.2 Functions 148 Appendix Maximal M-Relations and the Axiom of Choice 154 Notes (to the First Edition) 158 Additional Notes (to the Revised Edition) 165 References (to the First Edition) 171 Additional References (to the Revised Edition) 176 Index 179

Book Synopsis'Why are you making this about race?' This question is repeated daily in public and in the media. Calling someone racist in these times of mounting white supremacy seems to be a worse insult than racism itself. In our supposedly post-racial society, surely it’s time to stop talking about race? This powerful refutation is a call to notice not just when and how race still matters but when, how and why it is said not to matter. Race critical scholar Alana Lentin argues that society is in urgent need of developing the skills of racial literacy, by jettisoning the idea that race is something and unveiling what race does as a key technology of modern rule, hidden in plain sight. Weaving together international examples, she eviscerates misconceptions such as reverse racism and the newfound acceptability of 'race realism', bursts the 'I’m not racist, but' justification, complicates the common criticisms of identity politics and warns against using concerns about antisemitism as a proxy for antiracism. Dominant voices in society suggest we are talking too much about race. Lentin shows why we actually need to talk about it more and how in doing so we can act to make it matter less.Trade Review"Lentin's book is necessary reading. Lentin explains the whitewashing of racial-colonial history and how structural white advantage must be dismantled for progress to take place."Sydney Morning Herald '13 Books to Take Your Mind Off 2020'"The sharp analysis that Lentin offers exposes what [discourses that advance racist ideas under the guise of realism or common sense] actually do – obscure, gaslight or shift blame in order that a white supremacist order is maintained. […A] vital book for those who wish to understand race, and more importantly, desire to make it matter less." Sydney Review of Books"A persuasive and exhaustive study of how race pervades our societies. [Alana Lentin] has crafted this book in race critical scholarship with meticulous attention to the world around us. […] This book is a clear exposition of how race has been made to appear insignificant in certain strands of scholarship and popular culture, and why this is dangerous and must be resisted at all costs."Patterns of Prejudice"A wide-ranging, powerful and timely account of what race is, what is does, and why it still matters in our supposedly 'post-racial' times. […] Eloquent and accessible, [… it] is also valuable to a popular audience for whom the book would provide a thorough entry point into thinking more deeply about race and racism and a resource from which to cultivate racial literacy."The Sociological Review"A bracing corrective to the simplifications and elisions that plague commonsensical and officially sanctioned conceptions of racism." Sivamohan Valluvan, Ethnic and Racial Studies review symposium "Lentin identifies the many actors entangled together in a battle of ideas (and lives) to powerfully portray the ideological mess that sabotages public understanding of how racism works. But although Lentin skilfully measures our many failures in contemporary discussions, she also invites the reader to pause and ask what we can do better. Rising to her own challenge makes the work reflective, insightful and therapeutic." Yassir Morsi, Ethnic and Racial Studies review symposium"An important book that sets out both the progressive and dangerous traits of anti-racism."Göteborgs-Posten"The most prominent strength of Why Race Still Matters is the breadth and depth of analyses, pulling from diverse sources from multiple national contexts to build upon and challenge contemporary discourses on race and racism. Lentin provides critiques of both the political right and left in the ways that both minimise the continued significance of race in the structuring of societies around the world."Chinelo L. Njaka, Sociology“Why Race Still Matters [considers] how our unwillingness to talk about race emboldens the power of whiteness to define and re-define what racism is. […] Centring the voices of Indigenous and Black communities and people of colour helps tear down the structures that presuppose who can and cannot be knowers about race matters.”Leah Hrycun, Aboriginal Policy Studies"Offers key insights on how racism is denied and why naming racism is seen as offensive based on cases in politics and media across US and Australia. These cases, Lentin clearly explains, underlie the systemic redefinition of racism to serve white agendas and make it challenging to bring racial literacy into public discourse. […] A valuable contribution and resource."F. Zehra Colak, European Centre for Populism Studies"Decolonial activists are troubled by the tendency, among certain scholars, towards what is ironically called ‘the race for theory’, or, in other words, academic work which is based on the concept of race but whose real purpose is personal career-building. Alana Lentin escapes this. Not only does this book draw inspiration from decolonial struggles and deepen them, it also fully recognises their legitimacy. For this, my infinite appreciation." Houria Bouteldja, Spokesperson for the Parti des Indigènes de la République (Party of the Indigenous of the Republic)​ "Presently, mainstream intellectual and public discourse fundamentally lacks literacy in race. Lentin's book provides this literacy with rigor, accessibility and honesty. Above all, Lentin explains why race still matters in sociologically and geopolitically expansive ways."
