Civil War, Race War, and the Politics of the Family: From Antiquity to Great Replacement Theory
This article draws on Black Feminism to demonstrate how the mainstreaming of race war and the obsession with the heteronormative patriarchal family in white supremacist thought is rooted in a longer genealogy. I follow how race war’s familial imagery emerges through a contrast with civil wars, which were constituted as fraternal and fratricidal. Tracing this genealogy through antiquity, I show how civil war’s potentially redemptive bloodletting w…
The Normal and the Pathological: Frantz Fanon, Georges Canguilhem, and Colonial Fascism
This article unpacks Frantz Fanon’s theoretical analysis of the normal and the pathological through the French philosopher of science, Georges Canguilhem. Placing Fanon in conversation with Canguilhem I argue that, for Fanon, racism is pathological because it establishes a norm that continually constrains openness towards the future. Drawing on historical and contemporary debates on fascism, vitalism, necropolitics, and biopolitics, I show how Fa…
The Yellow Peril and the Ontology of the Enemy
How and when did war come to be understood as a “science”—one that could be quantitatively calculated and measured in such a way that one could derive universal laws? This paper turns to the archives of the Operations Research Office (ORO) during the Korean War to argue that race war orders and produces a scientific “truth” of war. This techno-scientific “truth” drives war to increasingly brutal forms of imperial and racial violence while simulta…
Class War, Race War, and the General Strike
Scholars have shown how race war is foundational to the discipline of International Relations and the hierarchies of international order. This paper asks how the legacies of slavery in global politics and the politics of race war shaped other conceptions of war as global politics in international relations-mainly class war through a genealogy of the general strike. This paper demonstrates how the general strike was transformed from this radical o…
The Creative Advance Must Be Defended: Miscegenation, Metaphysics, and Race War in Jan Smuts's Vision of the League of Nations
This paper argues that the idea of global peace in early twentieth-century liberal international order was sutured together by the threat of race war. This understanding of racial peace was institutionalized in the League of Nations mandate system through its philosophical architect: Jan Smuts. I argue that the League figured in Smuts's thought as the culmination of the creative advance of the universe: white internationalist unification and sett…
