Innovative scholars from an impressive array of disciplines here
probe holistically critical dimensions of the world’s interlocking
system of white racial oppression. Examining countries across the
globe—the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Romania, South Africa, France,
Australia—they demonstrate the oppressive effects of persisting
white domination in areas ranging from the extreme emotions of
cyberhate, to commonplace revanchist politics retreating from
hard-won human rights and multiracial democracy.
