I have become a Facebooker, and tonight I am using Facebook for research. I Friended some people who put up research links hand over fist. I might discover these books by browsing in bookstores, but there are no bookstores so on Facebook I learn about important books I should know but would probably not have found were I searching more systematically.
Here is a 2012 book by some people whose work I have liked before. It is important to read with and against da Silva because it criticizes the idea that modernity and racism must come together. It also criticizes Foucault. I think this book is going to be fundamental.
Here is a web forum on the “reality” of “race,” that has good essays and also bibliography.
There is a book on race by Jacqueline Stevens called Reproducing the State (Princeton 1999). I should look for and at this book.
Axé.
