The Threat of Race

"Written with the same clarity and masterly command of contemporary scholarship as his now classic Racist Culture and The Racial State, 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”."
–Etienne Balibar, Paris X Nanterre and University of California

"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."
–Achille Mbembe, author of On the Postcolony
