"I applaud the editors for their state-of-the-art collection in
race and racism studies.This volume will serve as a valuable
teaching tool." Gloria Wekker, Utrecht University
"This anthology provides a remarkable synthesis of race
theorizing across the humanities and the social sciences -
and yet also manages to be both historical and vitally
contemporary. Indeed, by incorporating the self-conscious
reflections of current thinkers, it often has the quality of a
living and breathing text." Troy Duster, New York
University
"In the current publishers' rush for student driven grab-and-go
Readers, Race Critical Theories represents something of an
exception - a collection of seminal texts with a clear critical
intellectual project driving its production and seeking to move
research agendas forward." Ethnic and Racial Studies
"[T]his is an excellent undergraduate text - bringing together
sizeable portions of seminal contemporary discourse and
feminist-centered writing on racism and the writng it has
influenced - which is likely to prove of great value in teaching."
