From Manifest Destiny to the White Man's Burden, Harold Macmillan
to Tony Blair, and John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama--the historical
development of racial doctrine has been closely connected to the
relationship between radical and conservative politics. This book
compares different forms of racism and anti-racism in the United
States and Great Britain from the 19th century to today, situating
the development of racial doctrine within the political movements
of the modern capitalist world order.
In conversation with current debates, this work places the
treatment of racialized human beings within a wider dynamic of
capitalist exploitation. It unpacks the influence of
anti-emancipatory thought on "race relations," and argues that
there is a consensus of thought across the political spectrum
underpinned by the contemporary acceptance of the impossibility of
human emancipation. Ultimately, "Race Defaced" is a heretical
intervention into questions of race and racism that challenges both
conservative and radical orthodoxies.
