Reading Race Relationally: Embodied Dispositions and
Social Structures in Colson Whitehead’s Novels

“This fresh perspective on Whitehead’s first six novels is a vital contribution to ongoing discussions. Reading Race Relationally should be of considerable interest to researchers of contemporary fiction, especially to those following ongoing debates on African American literature and its very concept, as well as class in contemporary fiction.”

(De)Automating the Future: Marxist Perspectives on Capitalism and Technology

“The book’s project resembles the role of philosophy as described by Hegel, which … seeks to grasp the essence of phenomena—in this case, automation—and establish a solid reasoning without falling into an antinomy between the positions arguing automation is either desirable or not … (De)Automating the Future offers a precise analysis of the automation debate from a historical materialist lens.”

Phil A. Neel, Geiseln des Kapitals: Zur Geografie der Krise

Translated by Hendrik Burfeind, Dennis Büscher-Ulbrich, Christian Huck, LJ Jeschke, Marlon Lieber, and Jen Sicka

“Phil Neel ist Pflichtlektüre für alle, die Amerika verstehen wollen und es wagen möchten, die Brutalität des globalen Kapitalismus zu begreifen. Er ist ein unglaublicher Stilist und ein Denker mit tiefem technischen Verständnis für die Mechanismen der Welt. Seine Texte sind absolut einzugartig: Niemand schreibt wie er.”
