Times Higher Education In this long-awaited work, Stuart Hall...bracingly confronts the persistence of raceand its confounding liberal surrogates, ethnicity and nation...This is a profoundly humane work that...finds room for hope and change. Orlando Patterson Marked by struggle and sobriety, this important work makes a significant contribution to a vision of community and an ethics of solidarity. Homi K. Bhabha Essential reading for those seeking to understand Halls tremendous impact on scholars, artists, and filmmakers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz In The Fateful Triangledrawn from lectures delivered at Harvard University in 1994one of the founding figures of cultural studies reflects on the divisive, often deadly consequences of the politics of identity. Migration was at the heart of Halls diagnosis of the global predicaments taking shape around him. Explaining more than two decades ago why migrants are the target of new nationalisms, Halls prescient vision helps us to understand todays crisis of liberal democracy. As he challenges us to find sustainable ways of living with difference, Hall gives us the concept of diaspora as a metaphor, redefining nation, race, and identity in the twenty-first century.
