The Urban Racial State introduces a new multi-disciplinary analytical approach to urban racial politics that provides a bridging concept for urban theory, racism theory, and state theory. This perspective, dubbed by Noel A. Cazenave as the Urban Racial State, both names and explains the workings of the political structure whose chief function for cities and other urban governments is the regulation of race relations within their geopolitical boundaries.

(Conceptualizing Racism is a provocative book that confron...)
Conceptualizing Racism is a provocative book that confronts the language we use to discuss and understand racism. Author Noel A. Cazenave argues that American social science has, since its inception, practiced linguistic racial accommodation that blurs our understanding of systemic racism and makes it difficult to effect meaningful change. Conceptualizing Racism highlights how words matter in racism studies. The author traces the history of linguistic racial accommodation through the development of sociology as a discipline and illustrates how it is at play today, not only within the discipline but in public life.

Noel Cazenave was born on October 25, 1948, in Washington, District of Columbia, United States to the family of Herman Joseph and Mildred Marie (De Pland) Cazenave. He was brought up in New Orleans.
Noel attended Walter L. Cohen Senior High School. After that, he enrolled at Dillard University to study psychology. His graduation in 1970 was followed by studies at the University of Michigan where in 1971 he received his master's degree.
In 1977, Cazenave earned a Doctor of Philosophy at Tulane University and continued his education at the University of New Hampshire and the University of Pennsylvania increasing expertise as a post-doc researcher.
Noel Cazenave started his career at Temple University where he grew up from assistant to associate professor of sociology. Since 1991 Dr. Cazenave is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut. In addition to it, he also works on the faculty of the Urban and Community Studies program of the UConn Hartford Campus and is a faculty affiliate with UConn’s Africana Studies Institute and its American Studies Program.
Cazenave's recent research interests include racism theory, United States poverty policy, political sociology, urban sociology, criminal justice, the sociology of emotions, and kindness.
Besides, Dr. Cazenave is the author of a number of books. He coauthored Welfare Racism: Playing the Race Card against America’s Poor, and have since then published Impossible Democracy: The Unlikely Success of the War on Poverty Community Action Programs, The Urban Racial State: Managing Race Relations in American Cities, and Conceptualizing Racism: Breaking the Chains of Racially Accommodative Language.
The most recently published book is Killing African Americans: Police and Vigilante Violence as a Racial Control Mechanism. The goal of Cazenave's current book project, which is tentatively entitled Kindness Wars: The History and Political Economy of Human Caring, is to develop a large, robust, and politically-engaged conceptualization of kindness. As he stated on his personal university web-page, he hopes "to restore kindness to its rightful place in serious social discourse and debates about human nature and possibilities."

Quotes from others about the person
Joe R. Feagin, Texas A&M University: "Noel A. Cazenave is one of the most insightful critics of contemporary social science theories of ‘race’ and racism. A courageous scholar who taught the first sociology course titled ‘White Racism,’ he demonstrates exceptional talent as a critical social scientist working to force deeper understandings of systemic racism’s dynamics - always with an eye toward facilitating antiracism practice and movements."
On June 20, 1971, Noel Cazenave married Anita Washington. They have one daughter named Anika Tene.
