Contents:
Introduction -- Delegitimating decadent inquiry -- Decolonizing disciplinary methods -- Rousseau's general will -- Fanonian national consciousness -- Thinking through creolization -- Conclusion.
Summary: Asking whether one can develop an approach to studying political life that reflects its heterogeneity, Jane Anna Gordon offers the creolization of political theory as a viable response. Creolization, she argues, describes mixtures that were not supposed to have emerged in the plantation societies of the Caribbean but did through their capacity to exemplify living culture, thought, and political practice.
