Abstract

"The Reeducation of Race: Jewishness and the Politics of Antiracism in Postcolonial Thought" by Sonali Thakkar explores the intersection of UNESCO's Race Statements with anticolonial and postcolonial works, focusing on the concepts of racial plasticity and fixity. Thakkar's analysis of texts by Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, and others reveals a complex relationship between Jewishness, postcolonial thought, and antiracism. The book offers a critical perspective on the historical context of race, culture, and colonial violence, challenging traditional narratives and providing valuable insights for understanding contemporary issues of racism and antisemitism."
