While racism has been a focal point of scholarship and research for centuries, it is during this more recent period that we have witnessed significant transformations in the analytical frames and methods employed to understand the evolving patterns of contemporary racism. The Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Racisms, a comprehensive and authoritative resource, brings together thirty-four original chapters authored by esteemed international experts. This handbook offers a truly global perspective, encompassing contemporary racisms in both the western and non-western geopolitical contexts.

Structurally, the volume is organized into ten interrelated parts, including "Theories and Histories," "Contemporary Racisms in Global Perspective," "Racism and the State," "Racist Movements and Ideologies," "Anti-Racisms," "Racism and Nationalism," "Intersections of Race and Gender," "Racism, Culture, and Religion," "Methods of Studying Contemporary Racisms," and "The End of Racism." Each part comprises chapters that draw upon original theoretical and empirical research to explore the evolution and diverse manifestations of contemporary racism.

The handbook is framed by a general introduction and concise introductions to each part, providing an overview of key themes and concerns. Written in a clear and direct style, the handbook adopts a conceptual, multidisciplinary, and international approach, making it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of the most pressing issues related to racism in our contemporary world.
