White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logics of Genocide by Dylan Rodr?

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE White Reconstruction by Dylan Rodríguez White Reconstruction re-narrates the long "post-civil rights" half century. Working across a variety of archival, testimonial, visual, and activist texts, the book illustrates how anti-Black and racial-colonial domestic war not only survive periods of reform but are the conditions of dominance on which such reforms rely, and through which they often articulate. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Winner, The Frantz Fanon Award for an Outstanding Book in Caribbean ThoughtWe are in the fray of another signature moment in the long history of the United States as a project of anti Black and racial-colonial violence. Long before November 2016, white nationalism, white terrorism, and white fascist statecraft proliferated. Thinking across a variety of archival, testimonial, visual, and activist texts-from Freedmens Bureau documents and the "Join LAPD" hiring campaign to Barry Goldwaters hidden tattoo and the Pelican Bay prison strike-Dylan Rodriguez counter-narrates the long "post-civil rights" half-century as a period of White Reconstruction, in which the struggle to reassemble the ascendancy of White Being permeates the political and institutional logics of diversity, inclusion, formal equality, and "multiculturalist white supremacy."Throughout White Reconstruction, Rodriguez considers how the creative, imaginative, speculative collective labor of abolitionist praxis can displace and potentially destroy the ascendancy of White Being and Civilization in order to create possibilities for insurgent thriving.

Refusing to imagine the historians concerns as at odds with those of the theorist, Rodríguez shows white supremacy reinventing its forms without losing sight of its imperatives. In consolidating slick new moments of control, rulers retain old modes of domination. Moments of multiculturalism and those of terror against vulnerable populations do not succeed, but instead structure, each other in this compelling study.---David Roediger, author of The Sinking Middle Class: A Political HistoryDrawing from a deep reservoir of radical writing and activism, leading abolitionist thinker Dylan Rodríguez creatively frames the current multiculturalist moment as the latest stage of historical reconstructions of white domination. He astutely distinguishes anti-Blackness and racial-colonial power while demonstrating how they remain linked by global white supremacist aspirations and logics. White Reconstruction challenges us to think more radically both by eschewing reformist ideas and terms and by learning from the creative genius of liberationist insurgencies that call us to abolitionist struggle.---Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty Review Quote Drawing from a deep reservoir of radical writing and activism, leading abolitionist thinker Dylan Rodr Competing Titles Fred Moten, Black and Blur (Duke, 2017) Barbara Ransby, Making All Black Lives Matter: Reimagining Freedom in the Twenty-First Century (California, 2018) Brett Story, Prison Land: Mapping Carceral Power across Neoliberal America (Minnesota, 2019) Feature "An urgent, radical rethinking of terms we think we know (white supremacy, racism, genocide, mass incarceration) alongside a (re)introduction of terms we dont use enough (domestic war, anti-Blackness, racial-colonial violence, the ascendancy of White Being)."
