Abstract:
"This book dissects "post-politics"--the repertoire of fantasies that hope for an afterlife beyond the social activism of the mid-Twentieth Century. Fusing political science, women's studies, media studies, and psychoanalysis, it provides a tour-de-force of Black politics, tackling gender and other subjects repressed or disavowed in the study of race"--
