Beskrivning

This book draws on the South African experience to develop a theory of race trouble with the central observation that transformation in South Africa has reshaped patterns and practices of encounter and exchange between historically defined race groups. Race continues to feature prominently in these new forms of social interaction and, by participating in them, South Africans are cast once again as racial subjects - advantaged or disadvantaged, included or excluded, colonizers or colonized.

Recensioner i media

In Race Trouble the social psychologist Kevin Durrheim and his colleagues Xoliswa Mtose and Lyndsay Brown address the multiple complexities that an analysis of racialised practices in South Africa faces today. ... The structure of the book is well-balanced, the register accessible and engaging. It is rich in examples, usually using at least one major example/case study per chapter. These examples will be helpful for readers who are not familiar with the prior research of the authors and/or the South African context. Durrheim, Mtose and Brown deliver a highly recommendable book for scholars who are interested in the wide field of race relations and racism, not only in South Africa.
