“In this book Stefanie C. Boulila makes a persuasive and compelling argument: we need the analytical category of race to explain the post-racial imaginary. Informed by a sustained engagement with Black feminist and feminist of colour thought, this book shows us the value of intersectionality and other terms that are often dismissed because they are dangerous. Boulila’s new book will become a key text in what she calls ‘a growing archive of unruly knowledge.’”

— Sara Ahmed, feminist writer and independent scholar

“In the most impressive part of the book, it is to these intersections of inequality denial that Boulila then turns, to the intersections of post-racialism, post-feminism and post-homophobia. Here, she articulates a very convincing analysis of race, sexual and gender politics in Europe, including a brilliantly sharp critique of usages of ‘diversity’ or ‘intersectionality’ in counterproductive and harmful ways that instead of overcoming structural problems present further hindrances to social and political transformation towards equality and social justice.”
