- Synopsis
- Giroux (English and cultural studies, McMaster U., Canada) interrogates the role of the university in the United States in the post-civil rights area in complicity and collusion with racially motivated and legitimated economic exploitation and violence, challenging what she terms the "raceless racism" perpetuated in law, the economy, and militarism and placing her discussion within the context of wider critiques of the neoliberalization of higher education and intellectual justifications for racism and war. She also considers ways in which the university can be reconceived such that it may serve as a counter to racially-based violence and injustice. In conducting this discussion she engages with a wide array of thinkers, including Martin Luther King Jr., W. E. B. Du Bois, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida.
