Reinventing Race, Reinventing Racism not only provides fresh theoretical insights into the new forms of race and racism, it also provides evidence of and policy solutions to address these seemingly intractable forms of discrimination and racial disparities. These issues are tackled in accessible, yet insightful fashion by some of the nation's most prominent race and public policy scholars.
"The book is disruptive and refreshing, giving readers the particular and occasionally peculiar reading of the subject by the editors whose expertise does not necessarily reflect the consensus of the field. [] There is much to learn from this ambitious, revealing collection. Summing up: Highly recommended." I. Ken, Choice, Vol. 50, No. 10 (June 2013), pp. 50
