Race, Biopower, and the Negative Dialectic

Angebote / Angebote:

This book presents a synthesis of ideas from Critical Theory, Postcolonialism, and Poststructuralism. Through the application of negative dialectics, issues in Indo-American cultural assimilation (primarily post-1965 immigration to the United States) are explored. Hybridity, and the multiple manifestations of selves and subjectivity, are analyzed through the lens of Foucault''s notion of biopower and Nietzsche''s critiques of Christianity. Issues of ''bad faith'' and ''false consciousness'' are linked to race, class, gender, sexuality, nation, and religion. Ultimately, philosophical concepts are amplified by site-specific ethnographic research conducted amongst Indian and Indo-American men and women. The book is, simultaneously, a critique and an affirmation of ideas such as ''Model Minority'' and ''The American Dream.
