Onderscheidingen
Selected as One of the Village Voice's Favorite 25 Books of 2001 In this landmark work, historian Vijay Prashad refuses to engage the typical racial discussion that matches people of color against each other while institutionalizing the primacy of the white majority. Instead he examines more than five centuries of remarkable historical evidence of cultural and political interaction between Blacks and Asians around the world, in which they have exchanged cultural and religious symbols, appropriated personas and lifestyles, and worked together to achieve political change.

But, in the middle of it is this amazing criticism of multiculturalism and the idea that we aren't (and can't) be strictly segregated into arbitrarily defined 'pure' culture bubbles: that's just not how culture works. We borrow from, adapt, reinvent and change as people, and trying to define strict cultural bounderies is counterproductive.
I'm still digesting all the thoughts in here, but I love it, and it seems to echo so much of the shortcomings of multiculturalism I've seen myself.
