Working from the premise that the white race has been socially constructed, Race Traitor is a call for the disruption of white conformity and the foundation of a New Abolitionism to dissolve it. At a time when white supremacist thinking seems to be gaining momentum, this book brings together voices ranging from university professors to skinheads to prison inmates to analyze the forces that hold the white race together--and those that promise to tear it apart.
Noel Ignatiev is the author of How the Irish Became White (Routledge, 1995). John Garvey works in the Office of Academic Affairs at City University of New York. Together they are the founders and editors of Race Traitor: AJournal of the New Abolitionism.
