4.9/5 (32879 ratings)

Description:Solidarity--the reciprocal relations of trust and obligation between citizens that are essential for a thriving polity--is a basic goal of all political communities. Yet it is extremely difficult to achieve, especially in multiracial societies. In an era of increasing global migration and democratization, that issue is more pressing than perhaps ever before. In the past few decades, the valence of multiracialism as a social and political issue has risen dramatically throughout the world. It features prominently nearly everywhere, from the United States, where it has been a perennial social problem, to Europe, which has experienced an unprecedented influx of Muslim and African immigrants, to Latin America, where rapid urbanization has intensified interracial contact. Political theorists have long wrestled with the topic, but they have typically addressed it from within the framework of liberal theory: How can a multicultural and multiracial polity, with all of the different allegiances inherent in it, be transformed into a unified, liberal one? Juliet Hooker flips this question around. Difference, she argues, is inevitable in multiracial societies, and liberalism offers inadequate prescriptions for making it less divisive. Instead, the social fact of difference itself should be the starting point: How can we create political solidarity when multiracialism and multiculturalism is more or less permanent? Unlike most liberal theorists, who focus on nationality and culture, Hooker stresses the differences produced by race, and explores the role that it plays in both the United States and Latin America. Coming to terms with the lasting power of racial identity, she contends, is thestarting point for any political project attempting to achieve solidarity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
