Race and Social Analysis by Caroline Knowles
Offers a theoretical examination of race and ethnicity that draws upon examples in Britain, US and Australia. This book examines: how race and ethnicity operate in the social world; the making of race and ethnicity by the connections between people, spaces and places; and the ways race and ethnicity articulate analytical themes in social science.′This is a wide reaching analysis of race making. The book argues for the centrality of social practices, and persons implicated in them, in understanding the specificity of race production…it is a very useful addition to the literature′ -
Floya Anthias, Professor of Sociology, Dept of Sociology and Social Policy, Oxford Brookes University
′Knowles writes eloquently about how we can challenge and change racist ideas, and ideas about race…this is an important and enjoyable book, which would be valuable to academics or students of any discipline′ - Sociological Research Online
′Analyses of race are a dime a dozen. But serious analyses of RACE-MAKING are rare indeed. RACE AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS is such a work. Caroline Knowles gives detailed attention to the ways in which racial identity structures both self and society. She notes the agency and responsibility we all face (and white people especially face) in our efforts to challenge and change entrenched patterns of racism, both in our souls and in the larger society. This is an valuable book... Highly recommended!′ - Howard Winant, University of California, Santa Barbara, Author, THE WORLD IS A GHETTO
