Böcker av Jane Anna Gordon

"While the centuries-long practice of enslavement has taken on a new guise necessary to its profitability in the global economy, what and who it involves has remained remarkably consistent. This book argues that statelessness and enslavement are not aberrations or radical exceptions. They have been and are endemic to Euromodern state systems"--

Asking whether it is possible to develop an approach to studying political life that reflects its heterogeneity, Jane Anna Gordon offers the creolization of political theory as a response. Offering a critique of mere comparison, Gordon demonstrates the generative capacity of creolization through bringing together across time and place the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Frantz Fanon.

Offers a theory of disaster in modern and contemporary society and its impact on the construction of social and political life.

Brings together new essays on African American studies. Ideal for students of African studies, philosophy, social and political thought, and postcolonial studies.

Examining the infamous conflict between a predominantly black community and a predominantly Jewish teachers' union, Gordon takes a new look at this historically rich and racially diverse community.
