Reviews

In this remarkable book, K. Patrick Fazioli performs an adroit and long-overdue unmasking...[His] spirited critique of the politics of scholarly ignorance is the real core of his compelling study, and one that has enormous resonance for those who are concerned with the persistence of racist rhetoric in Western political life today. Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)
