Paperback. Extraordinary racial politics rupture out of and reset everyday racial politics. In his cogent book, Fred Lee examines four unusual, episodic, and transformative moments in U.S. history: the 1830s1840s southeastern Indian removals, the Japanese internment during World War II, the post-war civil rights movement, and the 1960s1970s racial empowerment movements. Lee helps us connect these extraordinary events to both prior and subsequent everyday conflicts.Extraordinary Racial Politics brings about an intellectual exchange between ethnic studies, which focuses on quotidian experiences and negotiations, and political theory, which emphasizes historical crises and breaks. In ethnic studies, Lee draws out the extraordinary moments in Michael Omi and Howard Winants as well as Charles Millss accounts of racial formation. In political theory, Lee considers the strengths and weaknesses of using Carl Schmitts and Hannah Arendts accounts of public constitution to study racial power. Lee concludes that extraordinary racial politics represent both the promises of social emancipation and the perils of state power. This promise and peril characterizes our contentious racial present. Extraordinary Racial Politics explores the promise and perils of racially-based mass mobilizations and state emergencies.
