In a world in which racism and xenophobia are endemic, what is the
role of international law? To the extent international rules are
thought to have any relevance at all, the typical approach
characterizes international law as on the side of racial justice.
Human rights instruments like the United Nations' International
Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination are
paradigmatic, offering the world international agreements in which
governments are directed to avoid racist behavior and promote
antiracist action. In The Right to Exclude, Justin Desautels-Stein
goes against the grain and asks whether certain rules of
international law might actually produce structures of racial
hierarchy, rather than limiting them. The intellectual fulcrum for
this production, Desautels-Stein argues, lies in the ideological
structures of sovereignty and property, the right to exclude that
is shared in those twinned precincts, and the border regimes that
result. Applying critical race theory to contemporary problems of
migration, nationalism, multiculturalism, decolonization, and
self-determination, Desautels-Stein expounds a theory of
"postracial xenophobia", a structure of racial ideology that
justifies and legitimates a pragmatic account of racialized
foreignness, a racial xenos.
