Ebook: Hierarchy and Free Expression In the Fight Against Racism

Cynthia McKinney, First African-American woman elected to represent Georgia in the US Congressional House of Representatives : "Denis Rancourt has turned the entire notion of RACISM on its head and at the same time exposes racist acts committed by others to deflect that characterization from sticking at the highest levels of The Academy. North American civil rights defenders need this book at this time. Rancourt’s deeply incisive Fight Against Racism brings us back to the reality of the struggle, away from the manoeuvring for class advantage and away from the victim’s desire to create illusions of state-given justice."

THE TIMES OF INDIA – DELHI : “This is a far reaching socio-bio-psychological and institutional analysis of society’s dominance hierarchies, and of the systemic use of racism to maintain and advance the power structures that define both nations and our local environments."

Jeff Schmidt, former editor of Physics Today, author of Disciplined Minds : "Rancourt's main goal isn't to get you to agree with him on the issues. Rather, his goal is to provoke you to reject the boring, worn-out framework within which the issues are debated in the mass media and academe, and think independently. His book worked for me, as I ended up thinking about important issues in new ways."

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, award-winning author and geopolitical analyst : "Sometimes I think of Rancourt as an outlander or traveler looking at society from an outside view, but then I realize that he is not detached and is actually writing in a deliberately attached way from the inside. ...... Rancourt’s essays throughout the years have also been part of his own praxis and movement as a social actor. They are not some academic production."

Anat Matar, Senior Lecturer, Tel Aviv University : "You don’t have to agree with Denis Rancourt’s detailed and thorough arguments in order to learn from this book. Rancourt presents us with a challenge that human rights activists should seriously consider."

Terrance Nelson, Co-Chair, American Indian Movement, former five-term Chief of Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation : "Denis Rancourt is on a journey. In 1810, there was one billion people in the world, today seven billion people, technologically superior but biologically the same, we continue to dehumanize and demonize other people on the road to new wars. Denis Rancourt is asking questions that our youth need to hear."
