Racism, Modernity and Identity by Sallie Westwood

This book analyses racism and changing ethnicities in Europe and the US in the context of new forms of global dislocation, economic recession, the resurgence of ne0-Fascism, and a widespread sense of the crisis of Western modernity.
"[The] strength of this collection is that it does not deliver a reassuring unanimity of opinion" Millennium

"[This book] bring[s] together some of the most original and influential writers on racism and changing ethnicities in the context of recent transformations in Europe, the US and other parts of the globe." Sociology

"This excellent book is a collection of nine uniformly perceptive essays, and deserves a warm welcome." Political Studies

"This book has much to offer. In particular, its attention to the centrality of racism in the construction of western identities and the unpacking of the myths that are integral to the formation of the 'western front' provide a refreshing analysis of contemporary racisms." Patterns of Prejudice
