Larry Eldridge is Assistant Professor of History at the College of Arts and Sciences at Widener University and author of the acclaimed A Distant Heritage: The Growth of Free Speech in Early America, also from NYU Press.
"An engaging and fascinating book. In a surprising and unexpected
fashion, Carl Gutierrez-Jones shows how narrative fictions become
social facts, and how 'raced ways of knowing' secretly shape how we
make sense of our shared social life."-George Lipsitz, author of
"The Possessive Investment in Whiteness"
"In its own rhetorical practices as well as its prescriptions, his
book makes a powerful case for why not only John Rechy's migrants
need 'alternative stories to engage their imagination and critical
facilities, ' but why the socially and economically privileged do
too. It's an impressive display."-Michael Cowan,
"Mining the proliferation of discourses of racial injury in US
popular culture, law, and academics, Carl Gutierrez-Jones offers an
interdisciplinary tour de force that challenges readers to rethink
nearly every model for analyzing race used today. Emerging when
formal politics in the US have been wholly kidnapped by the far
Right, Critical Race Narratives has arrived just in time."-Robyn
Wiegman, Duke University, author of "American Anatomies: Theorizing
Race and Gender"
