Books by Jane Anna Gordon

Asking whether it is possible to develop an approach to studying political life that reflects its heterogeneity, Jane Anna Gordon offers the creolization of political theory as a response. Offering a critique of mere comparison, Gordon demonstrates the generative capacity of creolization through bringing together across time and place the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Frantz Fanon.

Offers a theory of disaster in modern and contemporary society and its impact on the construction of social and political life.

Examining the infamous conflict between a predominantly black community and a predominantly Jewish teachers' union, Gordon takes a new look at this historically rich and racially diverse community.
