"Global Journey of Racism is a deeply researched, wide-ranging, and brilliant meditation on the world's racist empire building that left generations of colonized people to struggle against its various manifestations of racial systems and white supremacy. Michelle Christian's journey will certainly spark conversation and controversy and challenge us to divest in whiteness and support solidarity for decolonial movements around the world." -Mary Romero, author of Introducing Intersectionality "Michelle Christian's book is a foundational text - providing a roadmap to understanding the making of our world vis-a-vis race and its myriad consequences and implications. This book is truly global, including analyses of societies as varied as South Africa, Ireland, and Japan. Christian successfully crafts this book as an invitation, pushing us to think in new ways. It is destined to be an impactful and well-cited book." -Jean Beaman, CUNY Graduate Center
