Paul Gilroy is a major intellectual figure whose writings have led contemporary debates around race and the ’Black Atlantic’. Gilroy argues that our ideas about race are socially constructed by colonisation, philosophy, science and consumer capitalism but that the survival tools generated by those vulnerable to racism offer the key to challenging these racist constructions.This volume:Introduces and contextualises Gilroy’s writing and key ideasExplains and elaborates on many of the cultural references from Punk music to Hegelian thoughtEmphasises the international relevance of Gilroy’s thought - expanding the examples to a variety of cities and countriesEmphasising the timelessness and global relevance of Gilroy’s work, this useful book will appeal to anyone approaching Gilroy for the first time or seeking to further their understanding of race relations and the Black Atlantic.
