Arguing that \u0026amp; All nations are transnations, the authors explore the \u0026amp; Red, \u0026amp; Black and \u0026amp; White Atlantic, tracking the circulation of ideas and their translation. In doing so, they critically address both the rightist and leftist blindness to race. This is a balanced, thoughtful and clearly written work that should be used widely in university classrooms.\" - Francoise Verges,Goldsmiths College, London \"Race in Translation is a masterpiece, an extraordinarily bold and brilliant book rich with erudition and insight. The imaginative and in-depth analyses of intercultural conflicts and coalescences offer original and generative answers to the most important questions haunting contemporary scholarship and civic life\" - George Lipsitz,author of How Racism Takes Place \"This transnational analysis makes Race in Translationan eye-opening, paradigm-shifting resource for numerous fieldsStam and Shohat offer a rich, triangular and new transatlantic framework linking national spaces too often analyzed in isolation. This marco-level endeavor arches over a wide array of exciting, insightful analyses that draw unexpected connections and open new pathways for future research.\" (Interventions)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the term \"culture wars\" often designates the heated arguments in\u003cbr\u003e the English-speaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmative\u003cbr\u003e action, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages. Race\u003cbr\u003e in Translation charts the\u003cbr\u003e transatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zones—the U.S.,\u003cbr\u003e France, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of these\u003cbr\u003e multidirectional intellectual debates, seen most recently in the emergence of\u003cbr\u003e postcolonial studies in France, and whiteness studies in Brazil. The authors\u003cbr\u003e also interrogate an ironic convergence whereby rightist politicians like\u003cbr\u003e Sarkozy and Cameron join hands with some leftist intellectuals like Benn\u003cbr\u003e Michaels, Žižek, and Bourdieu in condemning \"multiculturalism\" and \"identity\u003cbr\u003e politics.\" At once a report from various \"fronts\" in the culture wars, a\u003cbr\u003e mapping of the germane literatures, and an argument about methods of reading\u003cbr\u003e the cross-border movement of ideas, the book constitutes a major contribution to\u003cbr\u003e our understanding of the Diasporic and the Transnational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570001277208,"sku":"9780814798379","price":74.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/race-in-translation-culture-wars-around-the-postcolonial-atlantic-hardback-9780814798379","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
