"Yet, it has the great value of underlining that Africa's future is indeed in the hands of Africans, and only they will determine if it is a successful future or a return to second fiddle of human history ... At the same time, I am sure, those who know Africa will realize how much this book reflect the reality on the ground. A reality that will surprise the world in the years to come." (South World, 1 October 2011) <p>"This is powerful stuff. The author intends no scholarly dispassion, no footnoted academic treatise. Rather he presents an impassioned argument at length, replete with examples, full of word games to emphasize a point. There is fire in this work. The book is interesting, written with passion and obvious pleasure in playing with the language. The Threat of Race is a strong addition to the growing library of anti-globalism, [and] anti-neoliberal critiques." <i>Indigenious Peoples and Issues Website</i></p> <p> </p>

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? <p>Written by a renowned scholar of critical race theory, <i>The Threat of Race</i> 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, <i>Threat</i> offers a powerful new analytic for understanding this most insidious subject position.</p> <p>From Western and Northern Europe, South Africa and Latin America, and from Israel and Palestine to the United States, <i>The Threat of Race</i> provides a new taxonomy for understanding the power and pervasiveness of race in the 21st century.</p>
"Written with the same clarity and masterly command of contemporary scholarship as his now classic <i>Racist Culture</i> and <i>The Racial State</i>, and powerfully articulating the tensions of the postcolonial societies in the North and the South, David Theo Goldberg’s new book is likely to transform the lively debate on the construction of “race” as category and its relationship to historical processes of “racialization”."<br /> –<b>Etienne Balibar</b>, Paris X Nanterre and University of California <p>"A systematic, wonderfully readable and thoroughly radical assessment of the politics of race that offers a unique perspective on where critical race theory stands at the moment, and the questions just beginning to emerge for the future."<br /> –<b>Achille Mbembe</b>, author of <i>On the Postcolony</i></p>
