A deeply researched, provocative synthesis of the ways in which race has been conceptualized in Brazil, United States and France. Arguing that & All nations are transnations, the authors explore the & Red, & Black and & White Atlantic, tracking the circulation of ideas and their translation. In doing so, they critically address both the rightist and leftist blindness to race. This is a balanced, thoughtful and clearly written work that should be used widely in university classrooms., "A deeply researched, provocative, and up-to-date synthesis of the ways in which race has been conceptualized in Brazil, the United States and France. Arguing that 'All nations are transnations,' the authors track the circulation of ideas across the 'Red,' 'Black' and 'White' Atlantic." Françoise Vergès, Goldsmiths College, London"A masterpiece, an extraordinarily brilliant book rich with erudition and insight. The imaginative and in-depth analyses of intercultural conflicts and coalescences offer original and generative answers to the most important questions haunting contemporary scholarship and civic life." George Lipsitz, author of How Racism Takes Place, "This transnational analysis makes Race in Translation an eye-opening, paradigm-shifting resource for numerous fields…Stam and Shohat offer a rich, triangular and new transatlantic framework linking national spaces too often analyzed in isolation. This marco-level endeavor arches over a wide array of exciting, insightful analyses that draw unexpected connections and open new pathways for future research." - Interventions, "A deeply researched, provocative synthesis of the ways in which race has been conceptualized in Brazil, United States and France.

Synopsis
While the term "culture wars" often designates the heated arguments in the English-speaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmative action, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages. Race in Translation charts the transatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zones--the U.S., France, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of these multidirectional intellectual debates, seen most recently in the emergence of postcolonial studies in France, and whiteness studies in Brazil. The authors also interrogate an ironic convergence whereby rightist politicians like Sarkozy and Cameron join hands with some leftist intellectuals like Benn Michaels, zizek, and Bourdieu in condemning "multiculturalism" and "identity politics." At once a report from various "fronts" in the culture wars, a mapping of the germane literatures, and an argument about methods of reading the cross-border movement of ideas, the book constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of the Diasporic and the Transnational., Constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of the diasporic and transnational movement of ideas, While the term "culture wars" often designates the heated arguments in the English-speaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmative action, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages.
