Excellent book as a primary source reader with regards to the discourse of race. Must read for anyone interested in the major concepts and categories associated with "race" discourse. Robert Miles's essay is a must read.

Good book for big ideas and concepts in critical race theory. More British-centric than I was hoping for, but still a solid collection.

A very good read, multi-authored hence, there are many different views on race and racism. Highly recommend!

Super comprehensive, hugely broad selection of topics, and while some of it is very dense and somewhat hard to get through, sections are also so interesting, it's a breeze. I missed about 40 total pages of readings in this, but I'm refusing to not count this because I put so much time into reading this, this semester.
Another great, really important sociological text focusing on the processes of racialization, and colonization (mainly) but with so much more included.
