Traces of History presents a new approach to race and to comparative colonial studies. Bringing a historical perspective to bear on the regimes of race that colonizers have sought to impose on Aboriginal people in Australia; on Blacks and Native Americans in the United States; on Ashkenazi Jews in Western Europe; on Arab Jews in Israel/Palestine; and on people of African descent in Brazil; this book shows how race marks and reproduces the different relationships of inequality into which Europeans have coopted subaltern populations: territorial dispossession; enslavement; confinement; assimilation; and removal. Charting the different modes of domination that engender specific regimes of race and the strategies of anti-colonial resistance they entail; the book powerfully argues for cross-racial solidarities that respect these historical differences.
