"Race and Sexuality shows how the connections between these forms of difference emerge in the stereotypes that inform how one group thinks of another, in political agendas that foster inequalities, in media representations of domestic minorities and transnational migrants, and in the justifications of contemporary wars. In doing so, the book posits the still novel idea that to study the intersections of race and sexuality is nothing less than a confrontation with everyday life."
Roderick Ferguson, University of Illinois at Chicago
"This book is a wonderful primer on the intersections of race and sexuality. Accessible and lucid, it leads uninitiated and sophisticated students through the complexities of racialized sexualities, addressing timely issues and concerns across the global North and global South."
Jyoti Puri, Simmons College, Boston
"[The] challenge of thinking through the efficiency of available concepts to comprehensively engage with individuals' and groups' shifting social positionings is the major contribution of Race and Sexuality."
The Sociological Review
“The book should be commended for its substantial contributions and spirited engagement making visible inequalities which might otherwise have remained under the radar.”
Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Ethnic and Racial Studies
