The radical scholars, Dylan Rodríguez, Charisse Burden-Stelly, Steven Salaita and Ali Meghji have all endorsed the book with more to come!
An extraordinary theoretical and methodological engagement with Cedric Robinson’s indispensable conceptualization of “racial regimes.” Simultaneously an intellectual tribute and expansive explication, The New Racial Regime works from an archival foundation of Black and Indigenous, liberationist and anti-colonialist thinkers, honing analytical tools that make sense of the ongoing racial reconstructionist moment.
Dylan Rodríguez, author of White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logics of Genocide
A vital and well-written analysis of the regimes of racial capitalism that have reinvented themselves within the past decade. Lentin’s analysis of white supremacy’s dynamism and durability is incisive and she offers readers terrific suggestions about how to organize for change in a world where evil sometimes feels insurmountable.
Steven Salaita, author of An Honest Living: A Memoir of Peculiar Itineraries
Thinking through and with Cedric Robinson’s framework of “racial regime”, Alana Lentin offers a powerful reminder that, without an emphatic rejection of colonialism and imperialism, white supremacy, Zionism, and antiblack racial oppression will endure in our intellectual and political projects. Accessible, rigorous, and unequivocal, The New Racial Regime is the principled treatise we sorely need in this “time of monsters”.
Charisse Burden-Stelly, author of Black Scare/Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States
A crucial theorisation of the new “racial regime”, where fervent support for genocide, and the rejection of racial equality have become components of a new common sense. From the war on critical race theory, through to the legitimation of genocide through a discourse of “decolonization”, Lentin’s book offers deep insights into just how deep the new racial regime characterises our new social landscape. Social problems of our time need to be theorized, and Lentin’s book provides us with the vital theorization we need in order to fight back.
