Deleuze and Race cover

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. In these 16 essays, an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars inaugurates the Deleuzian study of race through a wide-ranging and evocative array of case studies.

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. This collection of essays shows how thinking in terms of becomings, movements of territorialisation and deterritorialisation, lines of flight, forms of biopower and geopower, enables new more dynamic concepts of race to be developed. -- Elizabeth Grosz, Jean Fox O'Barr Women's Studies Professor, Trinity College of Arts and Sciences at Duke University
