The legacies of the trans-Atlantic slave trade are integral to the formation of the modern world. From colonization and the Middle Passage to Jim Crow laws and the Black Lives Matter Movement, the idea of race, and its most insidious application racism, has been mobilized by those in power to subjugate others, to maintain an inequitable status quo.
As an academic publisher, it is not only our mission, but also our moral duty, to dissect and engage with our work; to inform our audience of literature that challenges widely and deeply held beliefs; to speak truth to power.
We are proud to present our Race and Power Collection a quarterly updated assortment of book chapters and journal articles that explores the intertwining concepts of race and power, on a global scale, from an interdisciplinary perspective.
