Summary:

If globalization is making the world more interconnected and homogeneous, why are racial divisions deepening? This book reviews cutting edge debates around racial politics and the culture and economy of globalization. Although the forces of globalization have made national borders obsolete, they have not been able to deconstruct established racial barriers. Arguing that the unspoken culture of whiteness informs much of what passes in the name of globalization, the book contends that we are witnessing a reformation of economic relations centered around global racisms. Alongside these shifts in economic relations, racialized identities are also evolving to encompass mixed heritages and mixed cultures both in personal identities and in lifestyle choices. "Race and Power" is an insightful new look into our conception of race in an age of globalization.
