\ From the Publisher"a truly unparalleled form of transnational history, one which operates from the archives of white settler colonies (North America included), only to reveal the provincialism of that vantage point, most notably by taking seriously the challenges posed by a variety of 'Asian' actors - from Chinese migrants to Japanese imperialists to Gandhi himself. This is a once-in-a-generation book, a must-read for students of empire, international politics, critical race studies and global history." - Antoinette Burton, International History Review\ "Drawing the Global Colour Line' forces us to reconceptualize the discursive and institutional development of whiteness as simultaneously nationally grounded and globally mobile. Scholars striving to extend the study of the geographies of empire, race, and whiteness, in particular, should find considerable inspiration in the approach marshaled so successfully herein." -Daniel Whittal, H-HistGeog\ "This is a once-in-a-generation book, a must-read for students of empire, international politics, critical race studies, and global history." -Antoinette Burton, The International History Review\ "Lake and Reynolds have truly accomplished a groundbreaking study of whiteness and immigrations policies from a transnational perspective." -Studies in English Literature\ \ \
