Race and the Politics of the Exception - Utz (University of Alabama McKnight - Bog

- Equality, Sovereignty, and American Democracy

Bag om Race and the Politics of the Exception

The traditional assumption today about race is that it is not political; that it has no political content and is a matter of individual beliefs and attitudes. In Race and the Politics of the Exception, Utz McKnight argues that race is in fact political and defines how it functions as a politics in the United States. In this book, McKnight engages with important African American fiction from major periods of racial politics in the US. Earlier descriptions of political theory are used throughout these analyses to refine the argument for a new critical politics of race. Scholars of political theory, identity politics, African American studies, and American Studies will find this work ground-breaking and relevant.
