This multidisciplinary collection examines postcolonial criticism and defines new categories of racism: those of false respect, reaction, and surveillance. Racism Postcolonialism Europe argues that all 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 anthology—which includes contributions from distinguished scholars such as Griselda Pollock, Michel Wieviorka, and Philomena Essed—will be required reading for scholars and students of race, postcolonial studies, sociology, and cultural studies alike.

Gaia Giuliani | Journal of Postcolonial Networks
“This essay collection is a detailed, complex, transdisciplinary, and multilayered discussion of historical and current racisms in Europe, and an important contribution to the contemporary debate on race and colonialism in Europe and elsewhere.”
Christos Pallas | Postcolonial Studies Review
“Huggan and Law’s work Racism, Postcolonialism, Europe, extracts the postcolonial critique from its traditional disciplinary boundaries and ‘exotic’ objects, and draws attention to Europe’s ‘foreigners’….valuable to researchers in (critical) security and migration studies, as well as to those interested in postcolonial and ethnic/race studies.”
