• catalog abstract ""In this new book, Michael Banton recounts key events in the international politics of action against racial discrimination in recent decades. He discusses the difficulties in defining race and racism, provides case studies of international initiatives and national measures against discrimination, and reviews the 2001 World Conference Against Racism." "The idea that humans naturally belong in races derives from a scientific error, but it is not easily dispelled from popular thought. By relying on a loose conception of racism, the international anti-racist movement continually recycles the very idea of race that it condemns. In its place, the adoption of an international perspective should inspire a powerful critique of the language of race as used in the English-speaking world. The new language of human rights reformulates the issues in ways that should appeal to everyone."--BOOK JACKET.".
