Transnational Cosmopolitanism - Kant, Du Bois, and Justice As a Political Craft

Zusatztext 'In Transnational Cosmopolitanism political theorist Inés Valdez offers a readable and engaged explication of key ideas in the works of Kant and Du Bois about the intellectual origins of our modern conceptions of cosmopolitan identity and its limits. Offering a thoughtful narrative based on wide reading of the primary and secondary texts, Valdez establishes an important new voice in contemporary debates about the ideology of identity and its understudied transnational sources and implications. The book superbly exposes the fragility of political cosmopolitanism rooted exclusively in national conceptions of identity and nationhood.' Desmond King, Andrew Mellon Professor of American Government, University of Oxford Informationen zum Autor Inés Valdez is Assistant Professor of political science at Ohio State University.

Zusammenfassung This volume is an original contribution to cosmopolitanism scholarship that questions the contemporary currency of Kant's canonical approach and enlists a neglected period of Du Bois's writing and political practice to radicalize, democratize, and transnationalize cosmopolitanism.
