The Postracial Delusion
David Theo Goldberg, Are We All Postracial Yet? (Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2015), 200 pages, $12.95, paperback. Linda Martín Alcoff, The Future of Whiteness (Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2015), 224 pages, $19.95, paperback. If we based our understanding of race relations in the United States on the events of the last year alone, it might seem like a racial Armageddon was upon us. Hardly a day seems to pass without a report of yet another black victim of a…
Cricket and Revolutions
Christian Høgsbjerg, C.L.R. James in Imperial Britain (Durham: Duke University Press, 2014), 294 pages, $24.95, softcover.The London Times once referred to the famed Trinidad-born C.L.R.

Harvard University professor Paul A. Freund wrote in 1971 that the standard of sameness is difficult to apply given the …
Hillbilly Nationalists and the Making of an Urban Race Alliance
Chicago is famed as a city of neighborhoods. Its reputation as such makes it seem like an adorably homey place to live or, as people are fond of describing it to visitors and friends alike, as a "big city with a small-town feel." But the city's open secret is that it does not just operate as any small town, but as a small town in the 1930s, with a segregation so deeply felt and embedded that it needs to be called out for what it is, a form of rac…
Queer Film and Media Pedagogy
Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and queer (GLBTQ) scholars today face an unprecedented travesty of their long-standing struggles for liberation and equality both in academe and throughout the public sphere. Notwithstanding increased positive GLBTQ representation in films and on television, anti-GLBTQ violence and disempowering legislative initiatives evidence a pervasive chipping away at hard-won pro-GLBTQ battles by neoconservative and ne…
