Insightful and inciting, this treatise is exactly what both the Islamophobic Islamist worlds need to read. I'm not sure it will bring them together, but it may--if thoroughly understood--clear the air concerning liberal neutrality and how sinister that term can sometimes be. Additionally, the separation of church and state is vital to freedom from oppression.

Very detailed account of how and why race is formed and used in a liberal political system. Revealing yet familiar.

This unrelenting tour de force exposes law's raison d'etre, its power, and its violence. Anyone curious how deep state policy operates? This book’s for you. Sheth is direct and concise, while elucidating the mystified methods used by political sovereigns to victimize groups by categories like skin color, religion, and class status, and how the jurisdiction of law abandons those categorized.

In clarity, Sheth identifies the shocking machinery of racializing and its heinous outcomes for those groups targeted by sovereign power. Race as technology is certainly in use in our current political system. Sheth distinguishes between sovereignty and the state, while showing their contemporary relationship—in light of the inconvenient truth that sovereignty has never left governance.

The introduction and first chapter are explosive while showing race as political technology. The author's assertions are thoroughly evidenced & internally consistent with the logical framework she constructs. Sheth is forceful, intricate when depicting the material fact: race is a technology that categorizes outgroups: The sovereign power protract its domination of them by using it.
