While the term culture wars often designates the heated arguments inthe Englishspeaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmativeaction, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages. Racein Translation charts thetransatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zonesthe U.S.,France, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of thesemultidirectional intellectual debates, seen most recently in the emergence ofpostcolonial studies in France, and whiteness studies in Brazil. The authorsalso interrogate an ironic convergence whereby rightist politicians likeSarkozy and Cameron join hands with some leftist intellectuals like BennMichaels, iek, and Bourdieu in condemning multiculturalism and identitypolitics. At once a report from various fronts in the culture wars, amapping of the germane literatures, and an argument about methods of readingthe crossborder movement of ideas, the book constitutes a major contribution toour understanding of the Diasporic and the Transnational.
