American Exceptionalism And The Remains Of Race: Multicultural Exorcisms (Routledge Series On Identity Politics)

For a brief time, serious considerations of the force of multiculturalism entered into a variety of philosophical and policy debates. But in the American context, these debates often led to a reaffirmation of some variant of American exceptionalism with the consequent exorcism of race within the avowed norms and policy goals of American politics. Fong explores how this "multicultural exorcism" revitalizing American exceptionalism is not simply a novel feature of our contemporary political moment, but is instead a recurrent dynamic across the history of American political discourse. 9781138794009 1138794007 0 POLITICAL SCIENCE NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=78mGoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
