Rezensionen

"Yet, it has the great value of underlining that Africa's future isindeed in the hands of Africans, and only they will determine if itis a successful future or a return to second fiddle of humanhistory ... At the same time, I am sure, those who know Africa willrealize how much this book reflect the reality on the ground. Areality that will surprise the world in the years to come." (SouthWorld, 1 October 2011)

"This is powerful stuff. The author intends no scholarlydispassion, no footnoted academic treatise. Rather he presents animpassioned argument at length, replete with examples, full of wordgames to emphasize a point. There is fire in this work. The book isinteresting, written with passion and obvious pleasure in playingwith the

language. The Threat of Race is a strong addition to thegrowing library of anti-globalism, [and] anti-neoliberalcritiques." Indigenious Peoples and Issues Website

"Written with the same clarity and masterly command of contemporaryscholarship as his now classic Racist Culture and TheRacial State, and powerfully articulating the tensions of thepostcolonial societies in the North and the South, David TheoGoldberg's new book is likely to transform the lively debateon the construction of "race" as category and itsrelationship to historical processes of"racialization"."
-Etienne Balibar, Paris X Nanterre and University ofCalifornia

"A systematic, wonderfully readable and thoroughly radicalassessment of the politics of race that offers a unique perspectiveon where critical race theory stands at the moment, and thequestions just beginning to emerge for the future."
-Achille Mbembe, author of On thePostcolony
