Race and the Politics of the Exception

More about the book

Examining the intersection of race and politics, Utz McKnight challenges the notion that race is merely a personal issue, asserting its political significance in the U.S. He analyzes key African American fiction across pivotal moments in racial politics, employing earlier political theory to enhance his argument for a new critical approach to race. This groundbreaking work is essential for scholars in political theory, identity politics, African American studies, and American Studies, offering fresh insights into the political dimensions of race.
