Reviews
“An important, stringent critique of the hegemonic versions of multiculturalism touted in both popular and academic spheres. San Juan provides a new reality to contend with—a new version of the present, one in which erased histories of racism, oppression, exploitation, and the struggle of marginalized groups are restored.”—Neferti X. M. Tadiar, University of California, Santa Cruz
“An invigorating analysis and soul-searching critique of contemporary controversies regarding multiculturalism and the centrality of race/culture/class in confronting politics of difference. San Juan casts a wide net, but he handles the workings and intricacies of contemporary politics regarding nationalism, immigration, and revolutionary struggle with much deftness, insightful grounding, and energy.”—Rick Bonus, University of Washington
