Race Becomes Tomorrow by Gerald M Sider
Gerald M. Sider weaves together stories from his civil rights activism, his childhood, and his experiences as an anthropologist to investigate the dynamic ways race has been constructed and lived in America since the 1960s.
"Sider's stories-whether about cockroach races in immigrant homes, degrading labor conditions or the claims and failures of police violence-provide numerous entry points into gaining a deeper understanding of how race and power both are and cannot be lived" (The Triangle Tribune) "... students said that Race Becomes Tomorrow significantly advanced their understanding of race in the United States. This is an important achievement. Undergraduates, graduate students, and seasoned scholars will find value in Race Becomes Tomorrow. Indeed, the book is appropriate for anyone interested in a vivid ethnographic account of what race does in the United States." - Charles Price (American Anthropologist) "While [Sider] claims that his book is for a new generation of activists, as someone who has done research for years on race formation in the United States I would add that it is a book for scholars as well." - Yolanda T. Moses (American Ethnologist) "Anthropologists who regard their discipline as inseparable from radical politics will welcome this book." - Jack Glazier (Journal of Anthropological Research) “Race Becomes Tomorrow offers us tools for struggle built from the tactics that vulnerable populations have always used in order to make livable worlds for themselves.” - Michelle Munyikwa (PoLAR)
