Apart from..the considerable merits of political insight and intelligence displayed in its composition, [Theorizing Race in the America] is particularly valuable for the theoretical originality and ingenuity of its conception. - Charles W.

Read morea new and rigorous analysis of these four canonical figures. Additionally, Hooker introduces a compelling methodological approach-juxtaposition, rather than comparison-that suggests opportunities for further cross-disciplinary work. -Amir Jaima, Radical Philosophy Review Theorizing Race in the Americas is undoubtedly a unique and impactful contribution to the study of race. Hookeras methodology for reading race in broader hemispheric context as well as her initiative to put Latin American and African American thinkers on the topic in conversation with each other is groundbreaking.

I would not be surprised if the book becomes in the next few years a central reference for scholars interested in investigating the various conceptions of race across the Americas. -Sergio Armando Gallegos-Ordorica, Radical Philosophy Review Theorizing Race in the Americas: Douglass, Sarmiento, Du Bois, and Vasconcelos is an outstanding scholarly work within contemporary political philosophy. While the book itself offers a compelling set of analyses regarding race, national and pan-national identities, and democratic theory, it is Hooker's scope, methodological innovativeness, and theoretical complexity that make the work exceptional. -Andrea J.
