Postcolonial Melancholia

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilroy, Paul, PUBLISHER: Columbia University Press, In an effort to deny the ongoing effect ong>ofong> colonialism and imperialism on contemporary political life, the death knell for a multicultural society has been sounded from all sides. That's the provocative argument Paul Gilroy makes in this unorthodox defense ong>ofong> the multiculture. Gilroy's searing ong>analysesong> ong>ofong> race, politics, and culture have always remained attentive to the material conditions ong>ofong> black people and the ways in which blacks have defaced the "clean edifice ong>ofong> white supremacy." In "Postcolonial Melancholia," he continues the conversation he began in the landmark study ong>ofong> race and nation "'There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack'" by once again departing from conventional wisdom to examine -- and defend -- multiculturalism within the context ong>ofong> the post-9/11 "politics ong>ofong> security." This book adapts the concept ong>ofong> melancholia from its Freudian origins and applies it not to individual grief but to the ong>socialong> pathology ong>ofong> neoimperialist politics. The melancholic reactions that have obstructed the process ong>ofong> working through the legacy ong>ofong> colonialism are implicated not only in hostility and violence directed at blacks, immigrants, and aliens but in an inability to value the ordinary, unruly multiculture that has evolved organically and unnoticed in urban centers. Drawing on the seminal discussions ong>ofong> race begun by Frantz Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, and George Orwell, Gilroy crafts a nuanced argument with far-reaching implications. Ultimately, "Postcolonial Melancholia" goes beyond the idea ong>ofong> mere tolerance to propose that it is possible to celebrate the multiculture and live with otherness without becoming anxious, fearful, or violent.

This new book by Gianfranco Poggi suggests that the three principal forms ong>ofong> ong>socialong> power - the economic, the normative/ideological and the political - are based on a group's privileged access to and control over different resources. Against this general background, Poggi shows how various embodiments ong>ofong> normative/ideological and economic power have both made claims on political power (considered chiefly as it is embodied in the state) and responded in turn to the latter's attempt to control or to instrumentalize them. The embodiment ong>ofong> ideological power in religion and in modern intellectual elites is examined in the context ong>ofong> their relations to the state. Poggi also explores both the demands laid upon the state by the business elite and the impact ong>ofong> the state's fiscal policies on the economic sphere. The final chapter considers the relationship between a state's political class and its military elite, which tends to use the resource ong>ofong> organized coercion for its own ends. Forms ong>ofong> Power will be ong>ofong> interest to students and scholars ong>ofong> sociology and politics.
