- It’s for a Political Theory class. The topic I’m considering is how race relations in America have been influenced by power. We have the freedom to select our topic, but it has to use influences from the books we’ve read in class. We’ve read Discipline and Punish by Foucault, Tools for Conviviality by Ivan Illich, Race Matters by Cornell West. 24/7 by Jonathan Crary, Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit by David Graeber, and Eichman in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt. Let me know what you think? We can use outside sources, but we should mainly focus on the inclass readings.
