Produktbeschreibung
In this series major critics make timely interventions to address important concepts and subjects. Written accessibly and with verve, these books set out to engage the broadest range of readers, from undergraduates to postgraduates, university teachers and general readers -all those, in short, interested in ongoing debates and controversies in the humanities and social sciences. David Theo Goldberg, author of The Racial State and Racist Culture: Philosophy and the Politics of Meaning, writes about race and its exclusionary, and violent expressions, historically produced and contemporarily articulated, yet so often in denial around the world. Here, Goldberg presents a framework to understand racially driven neoliberalisms and neoliberally fueled racisms: racial regionalizations and critical regionalisms, enduring occupations and permanently temporary states, Euro-mimesis and Muslimania, political theology of race and racial secularization, racial compulsions and their resistances, socialities of the skin and racial evaporations, racisms without racism and neo-neoliberalism.
How is race mobilized politically? How is racism experienced? How have racial meanings and experiences of racism changed--or failed to change--over time and in different places? Written by a renowned scholar of critical race theory, The Threat of Race explores how the concept of race has been historically produced and how it continues to be articulated, if often denied, in today's world. Charting race in all its exclusionary, humiliating, and violent expressions, Threat offers a powerful new analytic for understanding this most insidious subject position. From Western and Northern Europe, South Africa and Latin America, and from Israel and Palestine to the United States, The Threat of Race provides a new taxonomy for understanding the power and pervasiveness of race in the 21st century.

Rezensionen
"Yet, it has the great value of underlining that Africa's future isindeed in the hands of Africans, and only they will determine if itis a successful future or a return to second fiddle of humanhistory ... At the same time, I am sure, those who know Africa willrealize how much this book reflect the reality on the ground. Areality that will surprise the world in the years to come." (SouthWorld, 1 October 2011)

"This is powerful stuff. The author intends no scholarlydispassion, no footnoted academic treatise. Rather he presents animpassioned argument at length, replete with examples, full of wordgames to emphasize a point. There is fire in this work. The book isinteresting, written with passion and obvious pleasure in playingwith the language. The Threat of Race is a strong addition to thegrowing library of anti-globalism, [and] anti-neoliberalcritiques." Indigenious Peoples and Issues Website

"Written with the same clarity and masterly command of contemporaryscholarship as his now classic Racist Culture and TheRacial State, and powerfully articulating the tensions of thepostcolonial societies in the North and the South, David TheoGoldberg's new book is likely to transform the lively debateon the construction of "race" as category and itsrelationship to historical processes of"racialization"."
-Etienne Balibar, Paris X Nanterre and University ofCalifornia

"A systematic, wonderfully readable and thoroughly radicalassessment of the politics of race that offers a unique perspectiveon where critical race theory stands at the moment, and thequestions just beginning to emerge for the future."
-Achille Mbembe, author of On thePostcolony
