Abstract

In this fascinating interdisciplinary study, Suman Gupta argues that while it is widely accepted that essentialist ideas of identity are politically dangerous, certain social constructionist accounts of identity have now come to enjoy extraordinary currency. The latter are often regarded as central to contemporary political occurrences and social/cultural arrangements, particularly in academic institutions. This book explores why these ideas can be problematic, paying attention to both theoretical debates and institutional practices. Gupta first of all examines the conceptual aspect of social constructionist identity politics with regard to the humanities in general, and then considers the role of such politics in literary studies. His book constitutes a timely intervention in the current debate about the future of the humanities.

Abstract

En s'appuyant sur une étude réalisée auprès d'un panel d'entreprises françaises, grandes et plus modestes, ce livre propose un examen détaillé et approfondi de la question de la diversité dans les entreprises en France. Comment gèrent-elles leurs minorités et pourquoi ont-elles tout intérêt à jouer la carte de la diversité, telles sont les questions auxquelles les auteurs ont tenté de répondre. Cet ouvrage fournira à celles qui ont décidé de s'engager sur cette voie des comparaisons internationales, des pistes de réflexion et des perspectives quant aux pratiques et aux méthodes pour réaliser la diversité dans l'entreprise.

Abstract

In an effort to deny the ongoing effect of 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 of the multiculture. Gilroy’s searing analyses of race, politics, and culture have always remained attentive to the material conditions of black people and the ways in which blacks have defaced the “clean edifice of white supremacy.” In Postcolonial Melancholia, he continues the conversation he began in the landmark study of 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 of the post-9/11 “politics of security.” This book adapts the concept of melancholia from its Freudian origins and applies it not to individual grief but to the social pathology of neoimperialist politics. The melancholic reactions that have obstructed the process of working through the legacy of 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 of 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 of mere tolerance to propose that it is possible to celebrate the multiculture and live with otherness without becoming anxious, fearful, or violent.
