Traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in subjugating non-Western peoples, analyzing the changing perception of racism in the West and how the use of "race" has altered during the course of the 20th century. Looks at WWII as the critical turning point in racist ideology, arguing that the defeat of Nazism left the West uneasy with its own racist past. Assesses how this was redefined in the postwar period, and demonstrates that Western nations were initially unwilling to accept criticism of their past. The author is a professor of sociology at the University of Kent, UK. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
