“The Inner Life of Race is a riveting and utterly compelling account of ‘religion’ and later ‘race’ as technologies for mapping and managing the relations between body and soul and between individuals and collectives. Rarely have I read a book whose originality of argument and enviable clarity of expression pulled me through with such momentum, excitement, and head-shaking moments of ‘wow’. This book will make tremendous contributions to a wide range of disciplines and conversations and will be eagerly taken up, discussed, debated, and taught.” -- Ann Pellegrini, coauthor of * Gender without Identity * “Many of us have been waiting for precisely a book of this kind, one that can help us to make sense of Islamophobia in terms of histories of racial discourse and that can help explain the specific affinities of racism and war in our own period. Indeed, Leerom Medovoi offers much more than this, as he suggests a sweeping reconceptualization of racial ordering.” -- Nikhil Pal Singh, author of * Race and America’s Long War *
