- Description
- Paper about the geo-politics of race, political and therefore personal constructions of race as central to both domestic and international politics and the emergence of a world capitalist system with its attendant gender, race, class structures and inevitable wars. Colonialism was built on the pseudo-scientific racism of the nineteenth century that constructed dark skinned peoples as inferior. Author concludes that the politics of race most clearly inhibited solidarity between women.
