  • Political Rule, Prudence and the “Woman Question” in Aristotle *
    Canadian Journal of Political Science, 1991
    Co-Authors: Leah Bradshaw
    Abstract:

    Aristotle gives the classical definition of Political rule as the kind of rule appropriate for free and equal persons. This concept of Political rule is complicated, however, by the fact that, even in what Aristotle calls a free and equal association, the ruler is separated from the ruled by his possession of the virtue of prudence. This article explores the Relation between Political rule and prudence in Aristotle's writings, and considers particularly the case of Political rule between men and women. Though Aristotle characterizes the proper Relation between men and women as a free and equal one, he distinguishes the male/female Political Relation from the more general Political Relation by saying that men are naturally more fit to rule than women. We are interested in whether Aristotle excludes women from Political rule because he thinks that women lack the potential for the virtue of prudence.

  • marxism racism and the construction of race as a social and Political Relation an interview with professor robert miles
    Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2011
    Co-Authors: Stephen Ashe, Brendan Francis Mcgeever
    Abstract:

    Robert Miles has made a significant contribution to the field of racism and ethnic studies. In his early work, Miles drew upon structuralist Marxist theorizations of capitalism to offer a historically informed analysis of racism and migrant labour (Miles 1982). This perspective placed Political economy at the centre of the study of racism. In addition, Miles' critical discussions with other influential contemporaries such as Paul Gilroy and Stuart Hall (Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) 1982) raised crucial issues concerning the construction of ‘race’ as a social and Political Relation in Britain (Back and Solomos 2000). However, Miles became most renowned for his critique of the ‘race Relations’ paradigm and his insistence that sociologists employ the concept of ‘racialization’ rather than ‘race’ (Miles 1982, 1989, 1993). Overall, Miles' work was rich both in its theoretical clarity and historical depth, and his contributions warrant critical analysis today. The following interview was cond...

  • The Politics of Slavery
    2018
    Co-Authors: Laura Brace
    Abstract:

    This book asks what it means to describe someone as a slave and explores the Political dimensions of that question. It argues against the search for a transhistorical and timeless definition of slavery, and offers a critical interrogation of the dominant liberal discourse on slavery from the Enlightenment to the present. It pays particular attention to the meanings of the slavery / freedom binary and to the connections between the past and the present in understanding ‘old’ and ‘new’ slavery. The book is about what it means to think about slavery as a historical process and as a Political Relation, both in the history of Political thought and in present debates about trafficking and incarceration. It argues that we need to bring the concept of slavery back into our understandings of freedom, labour and belonging, and unravel the assumptions behind the meanings we ascribe to personhood, sub-personhood and humanity. From Aristotle and the idea of natural slavery, through Locke’s conception of civil society, Hegel’s master-slave dialectic and J.S. Mill’s analogy of slavery and marriage to the discourse of modern abolition and the idea of trafficking as slavery, the book interrogates what it means to think about the idea of freedom as the opposite of slavery, and draws attention to the significance of the tensions, ambiguities and silences that surround that conception.

  • The Politics of Slavery - Locke and Hutcheson: Indians, Vagabonds and Drones
    The Politics of Slavery, 2018
    Co-Authors: Laura Brace
    Abstract:

    This chapter focuses on Locke, and on the question of how we give slavery a history and think about it as a Political Relation. It investigates the colonial reading of Locke, his personal involvement in the slave trade and the connections between slavery and civil society. It argues that Locke’s justification of limited slavery needs to be linked to his view of civil society and the state of nature. This helps to explain the Carolinian context of his theory of slavery and the ways in which Native Americans were understood to stand outside the polite and civil world, unable to cultivate their land or their reason. The chapter develops the book’s argument that there are many different kinds of slaveries, rather than one transhistorical pattern. It looks in particular at the scheme for enslaving the English poor put forward by Francis Hutcheson in 1755, and at the status of vagabonds and begging drones. What did it mean to argue that the few were enslavable for the good of the many? The chapter explores the differences between the enslavement of the English poor and slavery in the Caribbean and the salience of race and racialization in understanding seventeenth-century slavery as a historical process and a Political Relation.

  • The Noble American Science of Imperial Relations and Its Laws of Race Development
    Comparative Studies in Society and History, 2010
    Co-Authors: Robert Vitalis
    Abstract:

    Political scientists in early-twentieth-century America who traced the nineteenth-century origins of their field pointed to the British theorist and statesmen, George Cornewall Lewis (1806–1863). His best-known work is An Essay on the Government of Dependencies (1841). Lewis defined the science of politics as comprising three parts: the nature of the Relation between a sovereign government and its subjects, the Relation between the sovereign governments of independent communities, and “the Relation of a dominant and a dependent community; or, in other words, the Relation of supremacy and dependence.” Modern writers, however, had not yet taken up the nature of the Political Relation of supremacy and dependency in any systematic way.
