LOCKED INTO RACIALIST THINKING

Paul Gilroy, Against Race: Imagining Political Culture Beyond the Color Line (Cambridge, Massachusetts, & London, England: Harvard U. Press, 2000) (From the book jacket: "At its heart, Against Race is a utopian project calling for the renunciation of race. Gilroy Champions anew humanism, global and cosmopolitan, ad he offers anew political adjudge and a new moral vision for what was one called 'anti-racism'." Note: Since the publication of this book, America has elected a nonwhite as president,gone through the myth/self-deceit of believing itself to be post-racial, and re-emerged into the racially-divided, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, age of Trumpism.).
