Global Historical Sociology of Race and RacismAuthor(s): Alexandre I.R. White, Katrina King\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Emerald Publishing Limited, United Kingdom\nImprint: Emerald Publishing Limited\nISBN-13: 9781801172196, 978-1801172196\nSynopsis\nIn this volume of Political Power and Social Theory, a special collection of papers reconsiders race and racism from global and historical perspectives. Together, these articles serve as an entry point for sharpening our sociological understandings of how racism operates in current times. They address questions such as: What can a new agenda for the global historical sociology of race and racism lend to the existing scholarship? What would it mean to recover the globally constituted forces that have shaped the production of racial categories and dynamics of racial oppression? How can we understand domestic racial policies, not only through their effects on local populations, but also as products of wider global and transnational forces.
