Despite global shifts in world power, racial conflict remains oneof the major problems of contemporary social life. This concise andengaging book demonstrates the interplay between identity, powerand conflict in the creation, persistence and transformation ofpatterns of race and ethnic relations across the globe.
Stone and Rizova employ a neo-Weberian comparative approach toexplore how evolving systems of group conflict have been - andcontinue to be - impacted by changes in the world system, globalcapitalism, multinational corporations, and transnational alliancesand institutions. The authors analyse critical debates about'post-racialism', 'exceptionalism', ethnicwarfare and diversity management in global organizations, drawingon cases from South Africa to Darfur, and from global migration tothe Arab Spring uprisings. In conclusion, the search for effectivestrategies of conflict resolution and the quest for racial justiceare evaluated from multiple perspectives.
Racial Conflict in Global Society provides stimulatinginsights into the basic factors underlying racial conflict andconsensus in the early decades of the twenty-first century. It isessential reading for scholars and students across the social andpolitical sciences, management and international relations.
