In The Global Journey of Racism, Michelle Christian provides a unified narrative of how the world's racial hierarchies came to be. Christian's story begins before the Ku Klux Klan, Nazi Germany, and South African Apartheid, tracing the historical lineage of white supremacy to the expansion of western, European empire. She uncovers the vast network of legal, political, economic, and social mechanisms—most potently, enslavement—that made up the original design for racialized knowledge, capitalist systems, and colonial management. Contemporary manifestations of this design may have new rhythms, beats, and faces, but they are all rooted in the modern hierarchy of global white supremacy and global anti-Blackness. Christian brings imperial history into conversation with the present, and places the racial mechanisms at work in distinct nations alongside each other, advancing a novel analysis of the global racial system. In doing so, she responds to scholarship on race and racism that emphasizes cultural specificity, and asserts the dominance of a modern world that, despite appeals to the contrary, remains brazenly, and without question, racist.

"Global Journey of Racism is a deeply researched, wide-ranging, and brilliant meditation on the world's racist empire building that left generations of colonized people to struggle against its various manifestations of racial systems and white supremacy. Michelle Christian's journey will certainly spark conversation and controversy and challenge us to divest in whiteness and support solidarity for decolonial movements around the world."—Mary Romero, author of Introducing Intersectionality "Michelle Christian's book is a foundational text – providing a roadmap to understanding the making of our world vis-à-vis race and its myriad consequences and implications. This book is truly global, including analyses of societies as varied as South Africa, Ireland, and Japan. Christian successfully crafts this book as an invitation, pushing us to think in new ways. It is destined to be an impactful and well-cited book."—Jean Beaman, CUNY Graduate Center
