Racism Postcolonialism Europe
Distributed for Liverpool University Press
This multidisciplinary edited collection turns the postcolonial critical gaze back on Europe itself, arguing that racism is alive and dangerously well and examining a variety of postcolonial criticism in order to understand a variety of racisms: those of false respect, reaction, and surveillance. Racism Postcolonialism Europe wisely suggests that all of these forms of postcolonial racism occur under the guise of representing the interests of the European people— which is a very different entity than the European population as a whole. This volume—which includes contributions from Griselda Pollock, Michel Wieviorka, and Philomena Essed—will be required reading for scholars and students of race, postcolonial studies, sociology, and cultural studies alike.
