'This is an exciting book that opens up Deleuze and Guattari's work to a rethinking and recomplexifying of race and what anti-racist struggles entail. Deleuze and Race provides a compelling example of how we can understand race in terms that both respect the lived reality of those living with or under racism, and those that have come to develop alternatives, self-representations and practices that move beyond and undermine racism's continuing force.

'This is an exciting book that opens up Deleuze and Guattari's work to a rethinking and recomplexifying of race and what anti-racist struggles entail. Deleuze and Race provides a compelling example of how we can understand race in terms that both respect the lived reality of those living with or under racism, and those that have come to develop alternatives, self-representations and practices that move beyond and undermine racism's continuing force. This collection of essays shows how thinking in terms of becomings, movements of territorialisation and deterritorialisation, lines of flight, forms of biopower and geopower, enables new more dynamic concepts of race to be developed.' Elizabeth Grosz, Jean Fox O'Barr Women's Studies Professor in Trinity College of Arts and Sciences at Duke University The first collection to theorise race and racism through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze Despite the fact that Gilles Deleuze had extremely original things to say about race, especially in collaboration with Félix Guattari, there has been no book systematically addressing this dimension of his work. As this collection of essays shows, the politics of phenotype and origin is never far from any engaged consideration of how the world works. It is well know that Deleuze and Guattari provide new concepts of the ways humans are differentiated, through processes of state formation, capitalism, madness and desire. But while sexual difference has received much attention in Deleuze studies, racial difference seems to be a more thorny problematic. In this volume, an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars inaugurates the Deleuzian study of race through a wide-ranging and evocative array of case studies. Key Features . Highlights implicit and explicit references to race across Deleuze's oeuvre . Relates Deleuze to other theorists of race, such as Foucault, Butler and Gilroy . Uses examples drawn from the arts as well as current affairs and history Arun Saldanha is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota.
