Represent and Destroy: Rationalizing Violence in the New Racial Capitalism (Difference Incorporated)
"A brilliant correction to both Weber and Winant,Represent and Destroydemonstrates  how ‘the control over the means of rationality’ characterizes  post-World War II US liberal racial orders. Working against the grain of  change-as-progress, Jodi Melamed painstakingly demonstrates how  official anti-racism has steadied, rather than dissolved, race as a  structuring force of capitalism." —Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author ofGolden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis and Opposition in Globalizing California
