How do colonial histories matter to the urgencies and conditions of
our current world? How have those histories so often been rendered
as leftovers, as "legacies" of a dead past rather than as active
and violating forces in the world today? With precision and
clarity, Ann Laura Stoler argues that recognizing "colonial
presence" may have as much to do with how the connections between
colonial histories and the present are expected to look as it does
with how they are expected to be. In Duress, Stoler considers what
methodological renovations might serve to write histories that
yield neither to smooth continuities nor to abrupt epochal breaks.
Capturing the uneven, recursive qualities of the visions and
practices that imperial formations have animated, Stoler works
through a set of conceptual and concrete reconsiderations that
locate the political effects and practices that imperial projects
produce: occluded histories, gradated sovereignties, affective
security regimes, "new" racisms, bodily exposures, active debris,
and carceral archipelagos of colony and camp that carve out the
distribution of inequities and deep fault lines of duress today.
