"Goldberg offers a compelling, historically grounded and powerful
set of analytic tools to understand the pernicious synergy on which
racisms and modern states have thrived. The Racial State offers
that rare form of engaged scholarship speaks to the theoretical and
the everyday, that joins analytic innovation and nuance, political
commitment, and historical breadth." (Ann Laura Stoler,
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
"The Racial State is a worthy contribution, following Omi and
Winant's theory, to our understanding of modern racial formation.
Commanding the canon of political philosophy and legal theory,
Goldberg provides us with a thorough account of how racial
distinction, exclusion, management and terror have been
historically the reason and practice of the modern state." (Lisa
Lowe, University of California, San Diego)
