"[The] strength of this collection is that it does not deliver a reassuring unanimity of opinion." Millennium "[This book] bring[s] together some of the most original and influential writers on racism and changing ethnicities in the context of recent transformations in Europe, the US and other parts of the globe." Sociology"This excellent book is a collection of nine uniformly perceptive essays, and deserves a warm welcome." Political Studies"This book has much to offer. In particular, its attention to the centrality of racism in the construction of western identities and the unpacking of the myths that are integral to the formation of the 'western front' provide a refreshing analysis of contemporary racisms."
