Review
I've learned an enormous lot from Lentin's book. I only regret that a guide like this was not in existence when sixty years ago I started to study that phenomenon, one of the most insidious and complex of our times. My long struggle to comprehend its causes and poisonous logic would have been so much easier to wage - and win. --Zygmunt Bauman - Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds
This is a lively, accessible and up to date introduction that should be read by anyone who wants to understand the impact of racism in the West today. --Alastair Bonnett - Professor of Social Geography at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne
Clearly and convincingly written, the book is especially effective in positioning the political stakes of contemporary racisms. Alana Lentin offers a very good springboard from which students can launch a critical examination of racisms. --David Theo Goldberg - Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute

Product Description
Despite the long struggle to eliminate racism, it is still very much with us. In fact, since 9/11, racism appears to be on the rise, making it more important than ever before to understand the meaning of race and the effect it has on society. Alana Lentin maps the emergence and development of ideas about race through political history right up to modern debates about multiculturalism and Islamophobia, and considers the implications of a 'post-racial' society at a time when science has placed genetics over culture. Provocative and intelligent reading for the newcomer and expert alike, this invaluable resource exposes the roots of racial thought and demonstrates why it has remained crucial to our everyday lives.
