"This is clearly one of the most prodigious political
accomplishments of our time. In open and engaging prose, Balibar
offers a serious and thoroughgoing study of the problem of what
constitutes citizenship under changing conditions of immigration in
Europe. His critique is accompanied by a political vision of
democracy at once chastened and hopeful."--Judith Butler,
University of California, Berkeley, author of "The Psychic Life of
Power"
"An extremely important book. Anything Balibar writes is sure to
find an extremely eager audience in the United States. But the
subject of this book--the new politics of immigration and racism in
a newly unifying Europe, the very real threat that unification will
mean a European version of apartheid, and the possibility that a
transnational political counter-subject ("we, the people of
Europe") can emerge to oppose globalization--is even more topical
than those Balibar has led us to expect from him. His striking and
sometimes dazzling commentaries on the various frameworks and
discourses at play will be of immediate interest to readers in a
wide range of fields."--Bruce Robbins, Columbia University, author
of "The Servant's Hand"
"Together these two volumes constitute an outstanding
contribution to the field. They present the views and arguments of
the major philosophers of the period with unmatched clarity and
subject them to deep and critical scrutiny. In my view there is no
other work on the history of twentieth-century century analytic
philosophy that matches it in its scope, depth, and elegance."--Ali
Kazmi, University of Calgary
