Bibliography
Reviewing cutting-edge debates around racial politics and the
culture and economy of globalization, this book draws together a
wide range of important contemporary debates in a clear and concise
way for undergraduate students.
Far from concluding that racism is over, the authors contend that
the forces of globalization inhabit older cultures of racial
division in order to safeguard the economic interests of the
privileged. Arguing that the unspoken culture of whiteness informs
much that passes in the name of globalization, the book suggests
that we are witnessing a reformulation of economic relations around
global racisms. Alongside these shifts in economic relations,
racialized identities evolve to encompass mixed heritages and mixed
cultures both in personal identities and in lifestyle
choices.
This is one of the few texts that concentrates on the theory of
race rather than politics. It looks at race in global terms, and at
'whiteness' as a part of ethnic studies.

'The importance of their book is that Bhattacharyya et al do provide insight into understanding what is going on in our world.' - Mike Cole, Ethnic and Racial Studies
