“From discussions of education through to Brexit, this book demonstrates how racism ‘dissolves’ into public, political, social, and cultural spheres, consequently solidifying itself in explicit violence. Scholars of race and ethnicity, as well as social theorists more broadly, will find this book incredibly interesting to read.” Ali Meghji, University of Cambridge
