Summary: Challenging the reader to reconsider long-held preconception
Review: The Racial State by David Theo Goldberg (Director of the system-wide University of California Humanities Research Institute and Professor of African American Studies and Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California - Irvine) is an astutely written, scholarly account that blends political and social theory, in a meticulous and deftly written study of the intersection of race and the formation and government of nation-states. Challenging the reader to reconsider long-held preconceptions, The Racial State is an erudite and very highly recommended college-level study which breaks new ground in its seminal analysis of human, social, and governmental behavior.
