Books by Noel A. Cazenave

Conceptualizing Racism is a provocative book that confronts the language we use to discuss and understand racism. The author traces the history of linguistic racial accommodation through the development of sociology of a discipline and illustrates how it is at play today, not only within the discipline but in public life.

The Urban Racial State introduces a new multi-disciplinary analytical approach to urban racial politics that bridges urban theory, racism theory, and state theory by explaining the workings of the political structure whose urban governments enforce the regulation of race relations. In The Urban Racial State, Cazenave incorporates extensive archival and oral history case study data to support the placement of racism analysis at the center of the formulation of urban theory and the study of urban politics.
