Review
Nuruddin Farah, author of Yesterday, Tomorrow: Voices from the Somali Diaspora : Readers used to Paul Gilroy's incisive political and cultural analysis will be highly impressed with Against Race. Those not familiar with his previous writings will be so impressed that they are bound to look for them. Gilroy is an erudite scholar and this is an imperative reading not only for those coming to grips with political culture beyond the color line but for any serious scholar interested in 'cosmopolitan cultures,' or in questions of identity.
Mahmood Mamdani, author of Citizen and Subject: Contemporary Africa and the Legacy of Late Colonialism : As with his past work, Paul Gilroy continues to disturb settled ways of thinking in a fundamentally creative way. Here, he challenges us to explore the dangers of race-thinking, whether 'race' be an imposed or an insurgent identity.
