Book: Between Race and Reason: Violence, Intellectual Responsibility, and the University to Come
On race as a political theology: Susan Searls Giroux (McMaster University), "Between Race and Reason: Violence, Intellectual Responsibility, and the University to Come" (Stanford University Press, July 2010), particularly chapters 4 and 5 ("Critique of Racial Violence: The Theologico-Political Reflections of Lewis R. Gordon").
Excerpt: "Chapter 4 thus explores the complex intersections among political theologies, liberal modernity, and the racial states ... Continuing this meditation on violence and counterviolence, Chapter 5 offers much-needed historical depth to what are all-too-frequently presentist analyses of the challenges that the university has long confronted and continues to confront in relation to truth, knowledge, commerce, militarism, and war."
