This book identifies and engages with an analysis of racism in the Caribbean region, providing an empirically-based theoretical re-framing of both the racialisation of the globe and evaluation of the prospects for anti-racism and the post-racial.

Recenzje

"Caribbean Racisms is an accurate analysis of the historical antecedents as well as the sociological implications of the creation of these heterogeneous societies. The authors [ ] constantly point the way forward, offering prescriptions for restorative policy decisions which politicians, educators and administrators can usefully utilize in devising creative ways of handling this potentially explosive adherence to transported ancestral values [ ] This text provides us with essential reading for a clear understanding of contemporary Caribbean society." - Professor Samaroo, UWI, St Augustine, Trinidad
