Colin Mooers'sImperial Subjects: Citizenship in an Age of Crisis and Empireadvances the Marxian understanding of citizenship beyond the usual contrast of legal equality and substantive inequality. Mooers demonstrates not only how capitalism creates the basis for juridical equality among citizens, but constantly creates and recreates categories of non-citizens subject to varied forms of legal coercion. He applies this framework to a provocative analysis of citizenship in the current era of neo-liberal capitalism.Imperial Subjectsis a major contribution.
This book is a powerful and penetrating analysis of the legal subject in contemporary global capitalism. Demonstrating a remarkable breadth, Mooers effortlessly charts a course through the complex debates around commodity fetishism, value forms, state theory and neoliberal imperialism. Always attentive to moving beyond Western-centric frameworks, the book provides a devastating critique of liberal notions of citizenship and a profound insight into the ways that legal subjectivities under capitalism are essential to ongoing imperial domination. Highly recommended!
In recent years, and especially since the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a striking shift in public discourse about the fundamental flaws of capitalism. But, while much has been said about such effects as, above all, rising inequality, even the most widely read and celebrated discussions have barely scratched the surface. Colin Mooers has taken a huge step forward with his innovative, lucidly argued and accessible analysis of transformations in the global market, its complex interactions with a new imperialism and a new form of neoliberal citizenship, which should change the conversation--both scholarly and popular--in truly fundamental ways."
Mooers' ability to capture and synthesize insights that show political, ideological and existential contradictions in his important revisited critique of capital is the greatest contribution of this book, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in ideas of national or global citizenship.
