具體描述
In this uniquely interdisciplinary work, Lisa Lowe examines the relationships between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries, exploring the links between colonialism, slavery, imperial trades and Western liberalism. Reading across archives, canons, and continents, Lowe connects the liberal narrative of freedom overcoming slavery to the expansion of Anglo-American empire, observing that abstract promises of freedom often obscure their embeddedness within colonial conditions. Race and social difference, Lowe contends, are enduring remainders of colonial processes through which “the human” is universalized and “freed” by liberal forms, while the peoples who create the conditions of possibility for that freedom are assimilated or forgotten. Analyzing the archive of liberalism alongside the colonial state archives from which it has been separated, Lowe offers new methods for interpreting the past, examining events well documented in archives, and those matters absent, whether actively suppressed or merely deemed insignificant. Lowe invents a mode of reading intimately, which defies accepted national boundaries and disrupts given chronologies, complicating our conceptions of history, politics, economics, and culture, and ultimately, knowledge itself.

Modern liberalism- “unifying particularity, difference, or locality through universal concepts of reason and community.”
评分果然每個針對liberalism批評都會把Hegel抓齣來當壞典型，也是心疼2333。對中國和印度的苦力（coolie）作為白人和black slavery之間的intermediary figure有很好的闡釋，全球labor force流動的視角也很好，不過主要是通過殖民國現存的colonial archive進行批判閱讀和知識生産（不然這個研究就很難做瞭語言和材料都是大問題），所以也會覺得有點可惜是個American studies。
