Summary note

"Takezawa, Harrison, Tanabe and their contributors present a multi-sited, transnational, and intercultural perspective on racism, shifting its emphasis away from the conventional North Atlantic interpretive frameworks to better understand its fundamental nature. Racism is not a uniquely transatlantic phenomenon but, because it is most often understood within Euro-American paradigms, its salience in other contexts is often less visible. The chapters in this volume analyse the process by which fundamentally invisible differences have been made visible, and various groups and communities have been marked,essentialized, and substantialized under a range of social, political and cultural conditions. Focusing on the space between the visible and invisible, they evaluate the dynamics by which invisible differences are rendered visible, and by which visible differences render other differences invisible. In doing so they promote a decentering of Western-centered frameworks, and elucidate continuities with and discontinuities from past era of racial antagonism and conflict. They look at case studies ranging from Japan, India, and Southeast Asia, to Iceland, the U.S. and intra-"white" racism in Europe"-- Page 4 of cover.
