The International Politics of Race

‘This is Michael Banton at his laser-like best, engaged in a piercing analysis of what would otherwise remain a thoroughly murky subject. No one has better credentials for this job. Banton's are grounded in a lifetime of theoretical work and decades of practical experience. The result is conceptual clarity more than sufficient to blaze a fascinating trail through masses of arcane but vital information.’ Donald L. Horowitz, Duke University

"A significant addition to the literature on the ways in which our ideas about race and racism have evolved and changed over the past few decades. It thus deserves a wider readership ... this is an important book." American Journal of Sociology
