Only got 40 or so pages in.

Interesting stuff, maybe, but far too academic and long-winded for me.

Surely the worst book ever written about a great idea. The chapter on Wright was pretty good, the chapter on Dubois and 'Hegel' possibly the worst I've ever read, mainly because Gilroy seems to have followed the Althusser approach to analysis of philosophical argument, that is, not reading the book (Hegel's Phenomenology) he's talking about. Vastly influential, unreadable and unconvincing- but that central idea was a great one.

Far too much impenetrable socioese for me to have been able to make much headway with this. Why can't sociologists write to communicate, not to show how much jargon they can parade?

What promised to be a good book, spoiled by fashionableness.

Gilroy examines race and multiculturalism through the prism of a range of modern theories including Freud, DuBois, Orwell, and Fanon.
