In fact, racism has taken on a subtler guise in the ways it is expressed. This ambiguity has made racism more insidious than it once was. \u003ci\u003eInterrogating Race and Racism\u003c\/i\u003e examines the subject of racism with a view to uncovering the many ways in which it exists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a subject with so many permutations, racism is necessarily examined from a multidisciplinary perspective in this collection, featuring authors from a variety of backgrounds. Among the specific topics discussed are border politics and the search for asylum, exclusionary policies, and the struggle for substantive citizenship. The collection also features extended discussion of racism in the workplace, an illuminating and important sequence that reveals the institutionalization of racist hiring procedures despite legislation to curb such practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the heightening of tensions in the post 9\/11 period and a resurgence of racist attitudes taking place, \u003ci\u003eInterrogating Race and Racism\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely analysis of cultural alienation and the ways in which it impacts upon our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cem\u003eVijay Agnew\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Immigrant Women and Violence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Complicity of the Public State in the Intimate Abuse of Immigrant Women \u003cem\u003eJanet E.
