Reviews for The Threat of Race: Reflections on Racial Neoliberalism
"Yet, it has the great value of underlining that Africa's future is indeed in the hands of Africans, and only they will determine if it is a successful future or a return to second fiddle of human history ... At the same time, I am sure, those who know Africa will realize how much this book reflect the reality on the ground. A reality that will surprise the world in the years to come." (South World, 1 October 2011) "This is powerful stuff. The author intends no scholarly dispassion, no footnoted academic treatise. Rather he presents an impassioned argument at length, replete with examples, full of word games to emphasize a point. There is fire in this work. The book is interesting, written with passion and obvious pleasure in playing with the language. The Threat of Race is a strong addition to the growing library of anti-globalism, [and] anti-neoliberal critiques." Indigenious Peoples and Issues Website
