Loïc Wacquant is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Research Associate at the Centre de sociologie européenne, Paris.
“Written in Wacquant’s characteristically pugnacious and brilliant style, Racial Domination dissects the logic of race-making and the reproduction of racial inequality with precision and depth. A must-read for everyone who longs for a theoretical analysis of race that goes beyond the routine and ritual evocation of its structuring power and offers a nuanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms.” Andreas Wimmer, author of Ethnic Boundary Making: Institutions, Power, Networks “In this lively book, Wacquant offers a perfect blend of historical analysis, reflexivity, and sociological restructuring to move beyond some of the pitfalls and myopia encountered in the study of race. Racial Domination will surely be discussed by social scientists for years to come.” Ali Meghji, author of The Racialized Social System
