a International Relations, as a discipline, does not grant race and racism explanatory
]
n agency initsconventionalanalyses,despitesuch issuesbeing integral tothe birth of
o
d the discipline. Race and Racism in International Relations seeks to remedy this over-
n
o sight by acting as a catalyst for remembering, exposing and critically re-articulating
L
e the central importance of race and racism in international relations.
g
e Departing from the theoretical and political legacy of W. E. B. Du Bois’s con-
l
ol cept of the ‘colour line’, the cutting-edge contributions in this text provide an
C
y accessible entry point for both international relations students and scholars into the
it literature and debates on race and racism by borrowing insights from disciplines
s
er such as history, anthropology and sociology where race and race theory figure
v
i more prominently; yet they also suggest that the field of International Relations is
n
U itself anintellectual andstrategicfieldthrough which tofurtherconfront theglobal
[
y colour line.
b
d Drawing together a wide range of contributors, this much-needed text will be
e
d essential reading for students and scholars in a range of areas including postcolonial
a
o studies, race/racism in world politics and international relations theory.
