Practices of Disciplinary Refusal for New Futures (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Breaking from Western disciplinary status quo, this book explores the politics of disciplinary refusal and presents alternative ways of seeing the world.Drawing from the Black radical tradition, P. Khalil Saucier and the contributors challenge normative assertions about power and develop alternate ways of conceptualizing society. The chapters create onto-epistemological grounds for discovery and by extension a domain to experiment with living differently. The authors illustrate how political typologies, often indebted to Enlightenment thought and frequently used to shape discourses of sovereignty, nationalism and globalization, are organized by violence and sentient disavowal. While each chapter works with specific themes and topics, each labor in speculative solidarity with one another in order to identify key issues within racial politics, cultural criticism, and the conceptions of historiography. Breaking from Western disciplinary status quo, this book explores politics of disciplinary refusal and presents an alternative way of seeing the world. This item is printed on demand.
