Modernity, Freedom, and the African Diaspora Dublin, New Orleans, Paris

Modernity, Freedom, and the African Diaspora . . . is a fascinating look at the way racism and social exclusion are still at work in our modern societies

Students and lecturers/professors will certainly find this book useful as a marker of social attitudes in developed western cities, that presents a desperate contradiction of official Government policy and public proclamation.

Highly recommended.

White should be applauded for her extensive fieldwork in Europe and North America, where she interviewed hundreds of individuals, mostly new immigrants and asylum seekers, whose accounts made up most of the book's primary research. . . . Modernity, Freedom, and the African Diaspora continues an important conversation on the importance of race and its intersection with modernity in the modern world.

What this study accomplishes, and quite successfully, is constructing an important expansion of modernity to make room for the complications of white racism impacting African diasporic communities.
