Race, Nation, and Capital in the Modern World is a comprehensive yet concise survey that traces the history of racism, nationalism and capitalism from their combined origins at the end of the 15th century to the present.
"Placing nationalism and social inequality at the center of his story, Professor Nicholson proves to be a reliable and refreshingly readable guide to understanding the struggles and conflicts of the past and present..."
Steven Seidman, University at Albany - State University of New York, Sociology department
"This important text demystifies the siloed approach to these issues, and, instead, unearths the cohesive connectivity of capital, nation and race, in a way that is both informative and engaging."
Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou, professor of international history and politics, the Geneva Graduate Institute
