"""Brown's fundamental project in this book is to read an original series of formative texts in order to allow them to be put to work against racism and exploitation. Building, with utmost care, a rigorous scholarly foundation across the disciplines of political science, literary theory, philosophy, and theology, he argues, compellingly, that the contemporary racial diversity frameworks employed by institutions such as universities and colleges are more likely to aid capitalist exploitation than actually combat racism and oppression. This book will be an invaluable resource for courses that deal with race and racism, as well as for the numerous interdisciplinary committees and groups of scholars that are forming today in an effort to address the contemporary crisis of racism in the United States."" — Frances Maughan-Brown, College of the Holy Cross ""Political theology is at a turning point, and this book helps rethink the options. Various forms of metaphysics, idealism, and the related theologies have reached an impasse because they are linked with the theologies of capitalism. In response, Brown introduces viable alternatives, drawing on original interpretations of their theoretical embodiments."" — Joerg Rieger, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Vanderbilt University"
