Fired by the active collaboration of Black and Indigenous scholars and activists, this book is an essential reference point to understand of racism and anti-racism in the Americas. Its central claim about the emergence of a new variant of racial capitalism, combining re-energized acism and post-racialism, is powerful, original, and agenda-setting. This book provides key conceptual tools for both understanding and challenging this new and insidious project of racial retrenchment.
