One of the inspirations that propelled the development of this Special Issue on race and racism in criminology was the vitality of recent race scholarship.1 This is reflected in a flurry of books and articles in journals such as Ethnic and Racial Studies and Identities that urgently address the ‘return’ of racism, race and nationalism to a political and cultural landscape that appeared to have wished them away to a post-racial, post-nationalist Neverland. The election of a paradigmatically white President in the USA and the UK referendum on membership of the European Union, and its aftermath, represent political conjunctures in which racism and nationalism have been undeniably dynamic. The work of any and all criminologists in those countries will be shaped by these events but without attending to this vibrant critical literature on race criminologists will be ill-equipped to account for their dynamics in their teaching, research, analysis and theorization. The two books reviewed here are chosen for the way they interrogate or open up a recurring problematic in British criminology, namely its deference to US perspectives and narratives on race and racism, and a corresponding lack of attention to the particularities of racism and nationalism in the British Isles (see Phillips et al., this issue). Susan Neiman’s book was a revelation. I grew up in England during the 1960s and 1970s when the triumph over German Nazism in the Second World War was a staple feature of children’s comics and other reading. I can just remember England’s victory in the 1966 football world cup final over West Germany and how it was adopted as symbolizing a post-war ascendancy that was otherwise rather absent. Wishfully more than actually, it signified Britons’ wider destiny to be the best in the world at everything, and the ghost self-image of their fading empire. Beating Germany in two World Wars and the world cup was all the proof anyone could want. Neiman’s book told me how little I had really learned since then about Germany’s efforts to address its past and the profound implications of defeat, division and unification on what it meant to be German.

评论文章:'他们认为一切都结束了。. .'

推动本期犯罪学中种族和种族主义特刊的发展的灵感之一是最近种族奖学金的活力。 1 这反映在诸如 Ethnic and Racial Studies and Identities 等期刊上的一系列书籍和文章中,这些书籍和文章急需解决种族主义、种族和民族主义“回归”到似乎希望他们远离后种族、后民族主义的梦幻岛的政治和文化景观。美国选举典型的白人总统和英国关于加入欧盟的公投及其后果,代表了种族主义和民族主义无可否认地活跃的政治局面。这些国家的任何和所有犯罪学家的工作都将受到这些事件的影响,但如果不关注这些关于种族犯罪学家的充满活力的批判性文献,将无法充分说明他们在教学、研究、分析和理论化方面的动态。选择这里评论的两本书是因为它们询问或打开英国犯罪学中反复出现的问题的方式,即它尊重美国关于种族和种族主义的观点和叙述,以及相应地缺乏对种族主义和民族主义在英国的特殊性的关注。不列颠群岛(参见 Phillips 等人,本期)。Susan Neiman 的书是一个启示。我在 1960 年代和 1970 年代在英国长大,当时二战中战胜德国纳粹主义是儿童漫画和其他阅读的主要内容。我只记得英格兰在 1966 年足球世界杯决赛中战胜西德的胜利,以及它是如何被视为战后优势的象征,而在其他情况下则不然。比实际情况更令人欣慰的是,它象征着英国人在所有方面都成为世界上最好的人的更广泛的命运,以及他们衰落帝国的幽灵自我形象。在两次世界大战和世界杯中击败德国是任何人都想要的证明。内曼的书告诉我,从那时起,我对德国为解决过去所做的努力以及失败、分裂和统一对德国的意义的深远影响知之甚少。二 930028 TCR0010.1177/1362480620930028理论犯罪学评论论文书-review2020 它象征着英国人在所有方面都成为世界上最好的更广泛的命运,以及他们衰落帝国的幽灵自我形象。在两次世界大战和世界杯中击败德国是任何人都想要的证明。内曼的书告诉我,从那时起,我对德国为解决过去所做的努力以及失败、分裂和统一对德国的意义的深远影响知之甚少。二 930028 TCR0010.1177/1362480620930028理论犯罪学评论论文书-review2020 它象征着英国人在所有方面都成为世界上最好的更广泛的命运,以及他们衰落帝国的幽灵自我形象。在两次世界大战和世界杯中击败德国是任何人都想要的证明。内曼的书告诉我,从那时起,我对德国为解决过去所做的努力以及失败、分裂和统一对德国的意义的深远影响知之甚少。二 930028 TCR0010.1177/1362480620930028理论犯罪学评论论文书-review2020 关于作为德国人意味着什么的分裂和统一。二 930028 TCR0010.1177/1362480620930028理论犯罪学评论论文书-review2020 关于作为德国人意味着什么的分裂和统一。二 930028 TCR0010.1177/1362480620930028理论犯罪学评论论文书-review2020
