Description

Bringing together multi-award-winning author Hazel Carby's most important and influential essays, Cultures in Bablyon analysed diverse aspects of US and British culture. Carby's writing is invariably sharp and provocative, her political insights shrewd and often against the grain. A powerful intervention, Culture in Babylon quickly became a standard reference point in debates over race, ethnicity and gender.With a new introduction by Saidiya Hartman and a new afterword by the author.

Critic Reviews

At every turn, Carby refuses to tell a tidy or convenient story and instead produces an account of empire that is as expansive as it is heartbreaking. -- Saidiya Hartman
Carby disrupts fixed notions of racial identity that contort our understanding of Britain's colonial and postcolonial history. -- Paul Gilroy, author of Darker Than Blue and The Black Atlantic
Hazel Carby is a foundational scholar of race, class, and empire as critical lenses for understanding culture. -- Elizabeth Alexander, author of The Light of the World and American Sublime
