"Nomad Citizenship" argues for transforming our institutions and
practices of citizenship and markets in order to release society
from dependence on the state and capital. It changes Deleuze and
Guattari's concept of nomadology into a utopian project with
immediate practical implications, developing ideas of a nonlinear
Marxism and of the slow-motion general strike.
Responding to the challenge of creating philosophical concepts
with concrete applications, Eugene W. Holland looks outside the
state to analyze contemporary political and economic development
using the ideas of nomad citizenship and free-market communism.
Holland's nomadology seeks to displace capital-controlled free
markets with truly free markets. Its goal is to rescue market
exchange, not perpetuate capitalism--to enable noncapitalist
markets to coordinate socialized production on a global scale and,
with an eye to the common good, to liberate them from capitalist
control.
In suggesting the slow-motion general strike, Holland aims to
transform citizenship: to renew, enrich, and invigorate it by
supplanting the monopoly of state citizenship with plural nomad
citizenships. In the process, he offers critiques of both the
Clinton and Bush regimes in the broader context of critiques of the
social contract, the labor contract, and the form of the state
itself.
