Jonathan Judaken is an associate professor of intellectual and cultural history at the University of Memphis.

This book surveys differing historical contexts from the era of scientific racism in the nineteenth-century to the post-racial racism of the post 9/11 period, and from Europe to the United States, to understand how racism has been articulated in differing situations.

This book was previously published as a special issue of Patterns of Prejudice.
