Recent works on racial theory and state theory have tended to
ignore each other. "The Racial State," by contrast, argues that
race is integral to the conceptual, philosophical and material
emergence of the modern nation state, and to its ongoing
management. By interrogating conceptual shifts in defining the
racial state over time, Goldberg shows that debates and struggles
about race in a wide variety of societies are really about the
nature of political constitution and community. The book concludes
with a discussion of how state and citizenship might be reconceived
on assumptions of heterogeneity, mobility, and global openness. In
this way, the book rethinks contemporary racial theorizing while
providing a comprehensive account of modern state formation through
racial configuration.
The author's approach is thoroughly interdisciplinary, combining
perspectives from political theory and philosophy, historical
sociology and anthropology, and cultural, postcolonial and African
American studies.
