Contents Racialising Russia -- Racial proletarianisation and after: anti-Roma racism in Central and Eastern Europe -- Cuba: the raceless nation -- Racial sinicisation: Han power and racial and ethnic domination in China -- Red racisms and after: the promise, the logics, the prospects
Summary Racism in the Soviet Union and in other Communist contexts has frequently been denied and ignored. This is the first book to provide an analysis of racism and racialization in Communist and post-Communist contexts. It opens up debates about both the relationship between racism and communism and the racial logics at work, how they have come into being and how they have changed in the contemporary world. This is a major advancement in our understanding of processes of global racialization and this book includes new analysis and evidence on the battle to challenge the racist underground in the Russian Federation, the postwar experiences of the Roma in Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, new Afro-Cuban movements and on Tibetan struggles against Chinese domination
This book analyses racism in communist and post-communist contexts, examining the 'Red' promise of an end to racism and the racial logics at work in the Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe, Cuba and China, placing these in the context of global racialisation
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-176) and index
