Synopsis

The first collection to theorise race and racism through the philosophy of Gilles DeleuzeIn this volume, an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars inaugurates the Deleuzian study of race through a wide-ranging and evocative array of case studies.Deleuze and Guattari provided new concepts of how humans are differentiated, through processes of state formation, capitalism, madness and desire. While sexual difference has received much attention in Deleuze studies, racial difference is a thornier problematic. As this collection of essays shows, Deleuze and Guattari had extremely original things to say about race, and the politics of phenotype and origin is never far from any engaged consideration of how the world works.

Review:

"This is an exciting book that opens up Deleuze and Guattari's work to a rethinking and recomplexifying of race and what anti-racist struggles entail. Deleuze and Race provides a compelling example of how we can understand race in terms that both respect the lived reality of those living with or under racism, and those that have come to develop alternatives, self-representations and practices that move beyond and undermine racism's continuing force."
