Customer Reviews

A nice contribution to "whiteness studies"

>After all Martinot's analysis, the fundamental mystery still remains:<br>how can race remain so persistent, even across changes to class systems<br>and the specific forms of racialization? Its suppositional structure<br>goes a ways towards an answer, but it always feels like something is<br>missing in every explanation. This is not remotely a flaw in Martinot's<br>book, but is the very kernel that he moves us slightly closer towards<br>being able to understand.
