Other NewsBooks by CEA Members: Duke University Press published Racism and Cultural Studies: Critiques of Multiculturalist Ideology and the Politics of Difference, by CEA member Epifanio (Sonny) San Juan, Jr., in its New Americanists series, April 2002. The book is a "powerful critique against jingoist nationalism": "Underlying [the] military drive of the U.S. ruling class to reconquer the world is a revitalized racist ideology of 'white supremacy' masquerading as multiculturalism."
