How have research agendas on race and ethnic relations changed over the past two decades and what new developments have emerged? Theories of Race and Ethnicity provides a comprehensive and cutting-edge collection of theoretically grounded and empirically informed essays. It covers a range of key issues in race and ethnicity studies, such as genetics and race, post-race debates, racial eliminativism and the legacy of Barack Obama, and mixed race identities. The contributions are by leading writers on a range of perspectives employed in studying ethnicity and race, including critical race feminism, critical rationalism, psychoanalysis, performativity, whiteness studies and sexuality. Written in an authoritative yet accessible style, this volume is suitable for researchers and advanced students, offering scholars a survey of the state of the art in the literature, and students an overview of the field.

'This robust volume connects, illuminates, and transforms theories of race and racism, while bridging the twentieth and twenty-first century. Sophisticated perspectives move through and beyond race, revisiting old questions, identifying new ones. The range of challenging, complex contemporary themes will appeal to new generations of students and researchers, regardless of disciplinary background.' Philomena Essed, Antioch University
