Pub Date: 5/1/27Reaction and RevolutionKevin Musgrave$54.95

Reaction and Revolution situates the resurgence of far-right movements and thinkers within a longer intellectual history that emerged primarily in interwar Germany. Kevin Musgrave argues that a radical political theology of race offers meaningful ways of challenging the right’s efforts to build a global imperium of whiteness and of reclaiming the promise of human dignity.

This book maps the development of a social and rhetorical phenomenon called investment citizenship: a mode of citizen-subjectivity articulated primarily through financial and affective investments. Investment citizenship is both a marker of personal identity and a complex, interwoven set of rhetorics, forces, actions, and assumptions that articulate the role of investment in social life.
