Between Camps

Description:

"In this book, now reissued with a new introduction, Paul Gilroy puts forward a vision of a political culture beyond entrenched "camps" of racial, national, cultural and religious difference. Gilroy contends that "race-thinking" and the division of humanity into groups based on skin colour has served only to perpetuate inequality and oppression. In their place, he champions a new "planetary humanism", a global, cosmopolitan project that could transcend the politics of the colour line."--BOOK JACKET.
