He compels us to see that fascism was the principal political innovation of the twentieth century - and that its power to seduce did not die in a bunker in Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBetween Camps \u003c\/em\u003eaddresses questions such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Why do we still divide humanity into different identity groups based on skin colour? \u003cbr\u003e* Did all the good done by the Civil Rights Movement and the decolonization of the Third World have such little lasting effect? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGilroy examines the ways in which media and commodity culture have become pre-eminent in our lives in the years since the 1960s and especially in the 1980s with the rise of hip-hop and other militancies. With this trend, he contends, much that was valuable about black culture has been sacrificed in the service of corporate interests and new forms of cultural expression tied to visual technologies. He argues that the triumph of the image spells death to politics and reduces people to mere symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, \u003cem\u003eBetween Camps\u003c\/em\u003e is a Utopian project calling for the renunciation of race. Gilroy champions a new humanism, global and cosmopolitan, and he offers a new political language and a new moral vision for what was once called 'anti-racism'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Gilroy is a leading figure in international cultural studies.
