Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception
When the Nation Conquered the State
This essay focuses on the contemporary relevance of Hannah Arendt’s work insofar as it relates to US racism, imperialism, and migration. While Arendt denied that US migration policy and racism were linked or even similar to exercises of racialized sovereignty, totalitarian tactics, and mass displacement in Europe, I suggest that her analyses help us to understand important racialized dialectics between prison and camp, citizen and stateless, and …
Sanctuary in a Trumpist Context
This paper first identifies the necessity for sanctuary as a form of protest against the discretionary and often absolute forms of power shaping the current immigration system, particularly as it affects undocumented immigrants. Although the plenary power doctrine has removed legal personhood from immigrants at the federal level since the late 1800s, immigrants’ rightlessness and vulnerability to detention and deportation has grown since Trump wa…
Immigration and Metropolitan Revitalization in the United States
American Immigration After 1996
Few topics generate as much heated public debate in the United States today as immigration across our southern border. Two positions have been staked out, one favoring the expansion of guest-worker programs and focusing on the economic benefits of immigration, and the other proposing greater physical and other barriers to entry and focusing more on the perceived threat to national security from immigration. Both sides of this debate, however, rel…
American Immigration After 1996
"Examines the underlying complexities of immigration in the United States and the relationship between globalization of the economy and issues of political sovereignty"--Provided by publisher.
In Response to Paul Apostolidis's Critique
In Response to Paul Apostolidis's Critique Kathleen Arnold (bio) While I stand by my review, I want to emphasize that Paul Apostolidis's Breaks in the Chains is truly worth reading and yet there are theoretical differences between this author and myself that are worth discussing. Apostolidis accomplishes a great deal in this book: he strikes a nice balance between theory and the narrative accounts; he has constructed a complex and thought-provoki…
Theory as Agonism
Theory as Agonism Kathleen R. Arnold (bio) Paul Apostolidis. Breaks in the Chain: What Immigrants Can Teach America about Democracy. Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2010. US $73.50 (hardcover), US $24.50 (paperback), 290 pages. ISBN 978-0-8166-6982-0 In this well-conceptualized and timely book, Paul Apostolidis invites us to consider not only the political status of immigrant workers in the meat-packing industry but also how to th…
Class Politics, American-Style
Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson's Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer—And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class is both a work of political science and a contribution to broad public discussion of distributive politics. Its topic could not be more relevant to a US polity wracked by bitter partisan disagreements about taxes, social spending, financial regulation, social insecurity, and inequality. The political power of “t…
Economic Prerogative and Its Political Consequences
Response to Anna Marie Smith's review of America's New Working Class
Anna Marie Smith and I have similar concerns about the poor, racism and sexism. Yet we view political theory in different ways. Smith has focused on one set of programs and gives the reader a richly detailed view of recent welfare laws. In contrast, I have tried to do something very different. First, I use Giorgio Agamben's ideas as a foil, drawing upon Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault to supplement this reading, and I investigate the ideas of J…
Domestic War
This article explores Hobbes's and Locke's justifications for the exercise of prerogative power domestically. The argument challenges the conventional separation of the state into welfare and warfare and suggests that the State of Nature is not temporally displaced by civil society but rather exists alongside it. This analysis also contests the notion that prerogative power in a liberal democracy was only conceived of as being exercised internati…

Asceticism in Contemporary Political Theory
Asceticism in Contemporary Political Theory: Marx, Weber, Nietzsche and Beyond Kathleen Arnold (bio) In this article, I will explore notions of asceticism in political theory in relation to contemporary welfare prescriptions and low wage policies2 in the United States. I will not only interrogate the idea that there is a double standard operating in ascetic demands and normative values but also analyze how this double standard is deployed in term…
