How did a country endowed with abundant resources and a Christian majority reach such a precarious precipice? Dethroning Race explores some of what’s gone wrong and contends for a way ahead. Through a journey that traverses South Africa’s historical milestones and personal accounts from #FeesMustFall, Saville unveils a clarion call for a nation in need of renewal. Serving as a rallying cry, the book calls for a united South Africa, urging a rediscovery of diversity guided by a vision for biblical social change. --- “Not merely an academic work, this book preaches and, if one is willing, grows the imagination of the reader toward reparative and faith-directed justice.” - Dr Christina Edmondson, author of Faithful Antiracism and co-host of the Truth’s Table podcast “Dethroning Race is timely reading for those intentional about living as though the neighbour is created in God’s image, whatever their skin colour.” - Moss Ntlha, General-Secretary of the Evangelical Alliance of South Africa “This book should make you stop, make you think, make you reflect and make you pray.” - Andy McCullough, author of Global Humility and leader of the Unreached Network

Race and Repast: Foodscapes in Twentieth-Century Southern Literature examines the literary foodscapes of the American South—from Jim Crow–era kitchens where White and Black Southerners reacted against racial mores, to the public dining spaces where Southerners probed the limits of racial identity, to the lunch counters that became touchstones of the Black Freedom movement. Mining literary texts by iconic authors like Ernest Gaines and Walker Percy to demonstrate that “food reflects and refracts power,” Urszula Niewiadomska-Flis wields food studies as a revelatory lens through which to view a radically segregated society that was often on the cusp of violence. Niewiadomska-Flis also provides a rich and succinct introduction to scholarship in Southern studies and food studies, making Race and Repast a compelling read that offers countless insights to experts as well as readers exploring these areas of research for the first time.

Biological races do not exist—and never have. This view is shared by all scientists who study variation in human populations. Yet racial prejudice and intolerance based on the myth of race remain deeply ingrained in Western society. In his powerful examination of a persistent, false, and poisonous idea, Robert Sussman explores how race emerged as a social construct from early biblical justifications to the pseudoscientific studies of today. The Myth of Race traces the origins of modern racist ideology to the Spanish Inquisition, revealing how sixteenth-century theories of racial degeneration became a crucial justification for Western imperialism and slavery. In the nineteenth century, these theories fused with Darwinism to produce the highly influential and pernicious eugenics movement. Believing that traits from cranial shape to raw intelligence were immutable, eugenicists developed hierarchies that classified certain races, especially fair-skinned “Aryans,” as superior to others. These ideologues proposed programs of intelligence testing, selective breeding, and human sterilization—policies that fed straight into Nazi genocide. Sussman examines how opponents of eugenics, guided by the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas’s new, scientifically supported concept of culture, exposed fallacies in racist thinking. Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals today claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Sussman explains why—when it comes to race—too many people still mistake bigotry for science.

The Gremlin is a light-hearted account of the coming of age of twelve-year-old Upton Valentine. In 1970 Upton finds himself at a crossroads. He possesses a newly acquired independence, coupled with an evolving perception of his mostly dysfunctional friends, and a profound shift in emotions toward young Rebecca Stewart. But as summer commences, an overbearing father enters him in the Soap Box Derby, a professional mother announces the family’s impending move to another town, and a bully from the past returns to torment the lad once again. Amid youthful summer shenanigans, Upton must cope daily with these unexpected diversions. As the summer unfolds, Upton develops a profound awareness through close interaction with his friends, family, a very special girl, and an unscrupulous bully, both on and off the trail to the derby. He succeeds in the onerous task of designing and building his racer, he witnesses the demise of the unscrupulous bully, and he comes to terms with the inevitable changes that life relentlessly imposes. As for the title, it was in 1970 that now defunct American Motors rolled out an amusingly bizarre little auto called Gremlin. In the story, a brash car dealer sponsors Upton’s entry into the derby, with the strict requirement that the racer be called the Gremlin. That silly little auto surprisingly emerges as the catalyst that young Upton needs to rouse his spirit and bring about his poignant coming of age.

This handbook illustrates how education scholars employ Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework to bring attention to issues of race and racism in education. It is the first authoritative reference work to provide a truly comprehensive description and analysis of the topic, from the defining conceptual principles of CRT in the Law that gave shape to its radical underpinnings to the political and social implications of the field today. It is divided into three sections, covering innovations in educational research, policy and practice in both schools and in higher education, and the increasing interdisciplinary nature of critical race research. With 28 newly commissioned pieces written by the most renowned scholars in the field, this handbook provides the definitive statement on the state of critical race theory in education and on its possibilities for the future.
