"This book contrasts two approaches to antiracist theory and practice. The first emphasizes racial identity to the exclusion of political economy. This approach's prevalence, in the academy and beyond, now rises to the level of established doctrine. The second approach views racial identity as the function of a particular political economy-what is called "racial capitalism"-and therefore analytically subordinates racial identity to political economy.
