Donald Trump's election to the U.S. presidency in 2016, which
placed control of the government in the hands of the most racially
homogenous, far-right political party in the Western world,
produced shock and disbelief for liberals, progressives, and
leftists around the world. Yet most of the immediate analysis
neglects longer-term accounting of how the United States arrived
here. Race and America's Long War examines the relationship between
war, politics, police power, and the changing contours of race and
racism in the contemporary United States. Nikhil Pal Singh argues
that the United States' pursuit of war since the September 11
terrorist attacks has reanimated a longer history of imperial
statecraft that segregated and eliminated enemies both within and
overseas. America's territorial expansion and Indian removals,
settler in-migration and nativist restriction, African slavery and
its afterlives were formative social and political processes that
drove the rise of the United States as a capitalist world power
long before the onset of globalization. Spanning the course of U.S.
history, these essays show how the return of racism and war as
seemingly permanent features of American public and political life
is at the heart of the present crisis and collective
disorientation.
