Opis

This book is for readers who may or may not be familiar with the Middle Ages, but are interested in race and racism, and want to know how far back in time racism begins to appear. The book does for race studies what feminism, queer studies, postcolonial studies, have done to change how we view the past.

Recenzje

'If anyone still doubts the conceptual validity of religious race, this is the book to convince them. At every turn, readers will be confronted with fascinating evidence - some of it familiar, some startlingly new, illumining surveys of scholarly debates, and rich interpretive work … [The Invention of Race in the European Middle Ages] will have a significant impact on scholarly paradigms in medieval studies and critical race studies alike for a long time to come.' Cord J. Whitaker, Critical Inquiry
