In this bold, original and persuasive book, Anthony W. Marx provocatively links the construction of nations to the construction of racial identity. Using a comparative historical approach, Marx analyzes the connection between race as a cultural and political category rooted in the history of slavery and colonialism, and the development of three nation states. He shows how each country's differing efforts to establish national unity and other institutional impediments have served, through the nation-building process and into their present systems of state power, to shape and often crystallize categories and divisions of race. Focusing on South Africa, Brazil and the United States, Marx illustrates and elucidates the historical dynamics and institutional relationships by which the construction of race and the development of these nations have informed one another. Deftly combining comparative history, political science and sociological interpretation, sharpened by over three-hundred interviews with key informants from each country, he follows this dialogue into the present to discuss recent political mobilization, popular protest and the current salience of race issues. Anthony W. Marx is Associate Professor of Political Science at Columbia University and has been a Visiting Professor at Yale UniversityBinding Type: Paperback

Easy to work with and processed claim very efficiently
I have purchased Asurion Insurance on many of my Amazon purchases. The insurance is usually a reasonable cost that I feel is worth the purchase in case of product malfunction. This was the first time I had to file a claim on a product. I was extremely pleased with how quickly my claim was addressed in this matter and it just reinforces my decision to purchase this insurance on future products.

Quick and easy claim process
We filed the claim and they sent us a return label within a day. I sent back the unit and in the same day, they issued a refund. Amazingly easy and fast. Will definitely use their warranty services again.

Definitely worth having the peace of mind of the support from the Asurion team.
Good value and mostly worry free. Took several more steps to complete than originally described. I had to resubmit material and pictures a few times before everything was finally accepted, but in the end I was satisfied with the results.

So worth it - painless
I decided to get the extended warranty for my Black & Decker hand vac. When it stopped holding the charge, I reached out to Asurion. First of all, I love how I don’t have to search through papers and emails to try to find my warranty. It’s right in my Amazon purchases. They immediately started a conversation via text message with me. It was so straightforward to get the information to them. Then they sent me a return label, then Bada Bing, Bada Bang, I sent back my malfunctioning hand back, and they sent me an Amazon gift card. I use the gift card to purchase a New Hands back because I can’t live without it. Everything went so smoothly and it was so quick I highly recommend it for any electronics that you rely on and you would replace if it became inoperable.
