Description:
Critical social theorist and philosopher David Theo Goldberg is one
of the defining figures in critical race theory His work,
unsurpassed in its analytical rigor and political urgency, has
helped transform the way we think about race and racism across the
humanities and social sciences, in critical, social and political
theory and across geopolitical regions.
 
In this timely collection of incisive and lively conversations with
Susan Searls Giroux, Goldberg reflects upon his studies of race and
racism, exploring the key elements in his thought and their
contribution to current debates. Sites of Race is a
comprehensive overview of Goldberg?s central ideas and
concepts, including the idea of the Racial State, his emphasis on
militarism as a culture, and his treatment of the "theology of
race". Elegantly navigating between the theoretical and the
concrete, he brings fresh insight to bear on significant recent
events such as the War on Terror, Katrina, the killing of Trayvon
Martin and Arizona's controversial immigration laws, in the process
enriching and elaborating upon his vast body of work to date.


Sites of Race offers fresh avenues into Goldberg's work for
those already familiar with it, and provides an ideal entry point
for students new to the field of critical race theory.
