Synopsis

Now in its second edition, Race and Racialization presents new scholarship focusing specifically on immigration and migration, policies of multiculturalism, whiteness, gender and race, and settler relations. Contributors explore the problem of institutional racism from historical, comparative, and international perspectives, providing readers with tools to recognize the forces that contribute to the social construction of racism and encouraging new ways of understanding racial thinking.

Offering a critical examination of the failures of integration and multiculturalism in modern society, this theoretically rich volume is an indispensable resource for courses centered on race studies or other forms of oppression.

Review

"For any person who desires a deeply probing, broad-based exploration--from multiple angles, and drawing upon many voices--of race, racism, and racialization, this volume is indispensable. The editors have assembled a wise and challenging anthology that belongs in the hands of every person who cares about the construction and perpetration of identity and injustice."
