This book critically examines how race is constructed globally to
intersect gender, class, sexuality, language ability and religion and
answers some very important questions, like how does anti-black racism
manifest itself within various contexts? Chapters in the book use the
'Black and White paradigm' as a lens for critical race analysis
examining how, for example, the saliency of race and Blackness shape the
'post-colony', as well as the various 'post' colonial nations. The
paradigm centers Whiteness as the lens of defining what and what is
different. The negative portrayal of difference is anchored in the
sanctity of Whiteness. It is through such analysis that we can
understand how historically colour has been a permanent marker of
differentiation even though it has not been the only one. It is through
conversations and dialogue in the classroom that the book was created;
given the current political shift in American and the rise of
Anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, Islamophobia and xenophobia. The book
critically examines White supremacy, racialization of gender,
"post-racial" false narratives, and other contemporary issues
surrounding race.
