Reviews

"Race after Sartre is a timely collection of essays that will be of interest to scholars in postcolonial theory, philosophy, and critical race studies." — The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

"…the essays here are far ranging. While a handful explicitly argue for Sartre's importance to matters of race, most simply assume it, a fact that might constitute a powerful case in itself." — Philosophy in Review

"Jean-Paul Sartre's considerable contributions to comprehending and challenging racism both in its colonial and postcolonial contexts have often been overlooked. Race after Sartre corrects that oversight once and for all, indicating the range, depth, and quality of Sartre's pivotal thinking on metropolitan racism, the colonial condition, the relation of anti-Semitism to anti-Black racisms, the emotional charge of racism, the challenge of racism to freedom and freedom to the range of racisms. But it also signals the importance of the Sartrean corpus to understanding the range of racisms we continue to face today. Jonathan Judaken's collection alters how Sartre will be read, and adds considerably to our understanding of racial matters." — David Theo Goldberg, author of The Threat of Race: Reflections on Racial Neoliberalism

"This book will go a long way toward restoring Sartre to his rightful place as one of the modern world's greatest political moralists. In it, Jonathan Judaken has assembled an impressive lineup of authors, topics, and essays that demonstrate the continuing vitality of Sartre's thought." — Ronald Aronson, author of Living without God: New Directions for Atheists, Agnostics, Secularists, and the Undecided

"This book demonstrates anew Sartre's ability to write cogently and passionately against oppression and in support of progressive politics." — William L. McBride, author of Sartre's Political Theory

"I like the way the book locates Sartre historically and shows how he still speaks to us today with regard to the important topic of race." — Sonia Kruks, author of Retrieving Experience: Subjectivity and Recognition in Feminist Politics
