Description
The Racial State by David Theo Goldberg explores how race is integral to the modern nation state's conceptual, philosophical and material emergence. By examining shifts in defining the racial state over time, Goldberg reveals that debates about race are fundamentally about the nature of political constitution and community. This book rethinks contemporary racial theorizing while providing a comprehensive account of modern state formation through racial configuration. Goldberg's approach combines perspectives from various disciplines, including political theory, philosophy, historical sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and African American studies. The Racial State concludes with a discussion on how the state and citizenship might be reconceived on assumptions of heterogeneity, mobility, and global openness, offering new insights into the ongoing management of racial relations in societies around the world.
