In this carefully and convincingly argued exposition Andrew Barlow demonstrates how market globalization is intensifying a new 'color-blind' racism. At the same time, social globalization of peoples promotes a countervailing antiracist consciousness and resistance that could profoundly reconfigure U.S. politics. Between Fear and Hope is a major contribution, a provocative social analysis that is at once sobering and hopeful.
