Synopsis

Geographies of identifications are shifting under the impact of new technologies of communication and power, new flows of populations and ideas. Increasingly one group's frontline runs through another's backyard. Race, ethnicity, and nationalism have moved to the heart of today's postmodern cultures -- dissolving old structures at the very moment that new frontiers are assembled. Established theories about race do little to help us understand these changes. More connective visions are required -- visions which can bring together disparate voices working in different idioms. This special issue of new formations brings together the work of leading scholars, cultural workers, policy makers, and community representatives, recognizing that academic research presents only one approach among many.
