Description
Racism is a global challenge that requires a nuanced understanding. Alastair Bonnett's Multiracism offers a fresh perspective on this complex issue, exploring its diverse history and multiple roots. Drawing on examples from across the globe, including Asia and Africa, Bonnett rethinks the origins of racism and its connections to modernity. He argues that plural modernities are intertwined with plural racisms, and examines how racism relates to history, religion, politics, nationalism, anti-Black prejudice, and discourses of whiteness. This empirically rich book provides a new international vision of racism for the 21st century, equipping readers to understand this multifaceted issue in a multipolar world.
