{"product_id":"fugitive-rousseau-jimmy-casas-klausen-9780823257294","title":"Fugitive Rousseau: Slavery, Primitivism, and Political Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritics have claimed that Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a primitivist uncritically preoccupied with \"noble savages\" and that he remained oblivious to the African slave trade. Fugitive Rousseau presents the emancipatory possibilities of Rousseau's thought and argues that a fresh, \"fugitive\" perspective on political freedom is bound up with Rousseau's treatments of primitivism and slavery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than trace Rousseau's arguments primarily to the social contract tradition of Hobbes and Locke, Fugitive Rousseau places Rousseau squarely in two imperial contexts: European empire in his contemporary Atlantic world and Roman imperial philosophy. Anyone who aims to understand the implications of Rousseau's famous sentence \"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains\" or wants to know how Rousseauian arguments can support a radical democratic politics of diversity, discontinuity, and exodus will find Fugitive Rousseau indispensable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jimmy Casas Klausen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823257290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823257294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 1057","brand":"Jimmy Casas Klausen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086980788479,"sku":"9780823257294","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfa9977d-6bbf-413c-a11a-b4dec4ca8a75.jpg?v=1769097614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fugitive-rousseau-jimmy-casas-klausen-9780823257294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
