Summary

"This is a pathbreaking volume on the cultural politics of race, nature, and power. A range of innovative contributions address the most pressing questions regarding the mutually mediating 'traffic' between the terms of nature, culture, and race. This book now sets the standard in thinking critically--that is, politically--about the racial cultures of nature, difference, and distinction."--David Theo Goldberg, author of "The Racial State"
