Ethics and Insurrection articulates an ethical position that takes
critical pragmatism and Harrisian insurrectionist philosophy
seriously. It suggests that there are values and norms that create
boundaries that confine, reduce and circumscribe the actions we
allow ourselves to consider. McBride argues that an insurrectionist
ethos is integral in the disavowing of norms and traditions that
justify or perpetuate oppression and that we must throw our faith
behind something, some set of values, if we want a chance at
shaping a future. This book encourages us to (re)imagine and shape
futures with less subjection, less degradation. It urges us to
interrogate and deconstruct those intervening background
assumptions that authorize and reinforce the subordination of
stigmatized groups. It implores us to pursue new conceptions of
personhood and humanity, conceptions that forefront reciprocity and
solidarity-conceptions that do not cast groups of human beings as
inherently subhuman or naturally bereft of honor. And finally
Ethics and Insurrection beseeches us to form new coalitions and
bonds of trust, to engage in those forms of collective action
likely to shape a better future.
