[Gabe Riggs]

Game changing book on race that will make you question your entire career as a white queer theorist.

[Bigg Khalil]

This book was recommended to me by a professor so I could get a better understanding of the process of racialization, which is kind of a loose word with little consistent meaning. I did like some of the chapters (this is an edited text) and thought some were out there. I give it 4 stars simply for the chapter on American Racination. Some chapters are helpful in regards to better understanding the social processes of race-making and ascribing meaning to race, some are less helpful, but a few chapters (including the aforementioned chapter) make it worth the money spent to buy the book.
