Writing Politics is a methods book designed to instruct on
politically focused literary inquiry. Exploring the political
sensibilities that arise from the way literary fiction
re-textualizes historical periods and events, the book features a
series of violence-themed inquiries that emphasize forms of writing
as the vehicles for politically attuned historiography. Each
investigation treats the way the literary genre, within
historiographic metafiction, enables political inquiry. It's a form
of writing that inter-articulates history and fiction to rework a
textual past and unsettle dominant understandings of events and
situations. Central to the diverse chapters are fictional
treatments of authoritarian, fascist, or zealous mentalities.
Featured, for example, are Radovan Karadzic (the architect of the
Bosnian genocide), Reinhard Heydrich (the architect of the
Holocaust's "final solution"), and the Trotsky assassin Ramon
Mercader. Michael J. Shapiro has produced another original and
sophisticated bookshelf staple; the only contemporary investigation
in Political Studies that instructs on method in this way.
