Race\u003cbr\u003ein Translation charts the\u003cbr\u003etransatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zones--the U.S., \u003cbr\u003eFrance, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of these\u003cbr\u003emultidirectional intellectual debates, seen most recently in the emergence of\u003cbr\u003epostcolonial studies in France, and whiteness studies in Brazil. The authors\u003cbr\u003ealso interrogate an ironic convergence whereby rightist politicians like\u003cbr\u003eSarkozy and Cameron join hands with some leftist intellectuals like Benn\u003cbr\u003eMichaels, Zizek, and Bourdieu in condemning \"multiculturalism\" and \"identity\u003cbr\u003epolitics.\" At once a report from various \"fronts\" in the culture wars, a\u003cbr\u003emapping of the germane literatures, and an argument about methods of reading\u003cbr\u003ethe cross-border movement of ideas, the book constitutes a major contribution to\u003cbr\u003eour understanding of the Diasporic and the Transnational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 383\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47450458620082,"sku":"9780814798386","price":66.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/915ccd8190cc98e81559e7e54bc32257.webp?v=1778785818","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/race-in-translation-culture-wars-around-the-postcolonial-atlantic-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
