Review

'... Marx's book is the only systematic and detailed comparison of race and racism in all three countries yet to appear ... his bold and provocative argument illuminates an important and previously neglected facet of the comparative history of race relations. He has brought the state into the discussion of how race is made in a way that will make it impossible to ignore in the future'. The New York Review

Book Description

Ideas, policies, conflicts about race and images of nationalism have been major themes of politics for more than a century. This book illuminates the particular experiences of South Africa, the United States, and Brazil, but also uses comparisons to reveal patterns and linkages between race, nation, state and class dynamics not otherwise apparent.
