Bethencourt, Francisco. Racisms: From the Crusades to the Twentieth Century. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2014.
A diachronic engagement with racializing projects in global contexts from largely European perspectives, from premodern to contemporary times. The work argues against a grand narrative of racism in favor of a contextualized approach, emphasizing that projects of racism must be understood as facets of specific sociohistorical conditions. It engages conversations in the study of captivity, displacement, colonialism, and global studies.
