- W2037981024 abstract "AbstractDebates about US empire have subsided somewhat in the aftermath of the George W Bush presidency but the issues underlying such debates have not gone away. In arguing that the history of the United States is an imperial one, this article proposes that US empire is the expression of an intersectional totality, one shaped by various vectors of power but reducible to none. To make this case, the article presents a sketch of US imperial history in order to show how this intersectional totality has evolved over time. Such an exercise can give useful context to the foreign policy initiatives of the Barack Obama administration, one that differs from that of its immediate predecessor but is not outside the structure of imperial history’s longer duration.Keywords: US empireintersectional totalityhistorical contextualisation AcknowledgementsThe author would like to thank Jordan Camp, Sheyda Jahanbani, Nelson Lichtenstein, George Lipsitz, Alice O’Connor, Cedric Robinson, Howard Winant and Antoni Wysocki for helpful suggestions on earlier versions of this article. All errors are the author’s.Notes1. See, respectively, Go, Patterns of Empire; McCoy, “The Decline and Fall”; Kaplan, “In Defense of Empire”; and Hoffman, American Umpire. The best overview of the literature on US empire is Kramer, “Power and Connection.”2. See, for example, Herring, From Colony to Superpower; and Immerman, Empire for Liberty. My approach here is closer, and indebted, to Hixson, The Myth of American Diplomacy; and Roediger, How Race Survived US History.3. Parisot, “American Power,” 1159.4. Some of the works that have most influenced my thinking here are Combahee River Collective, “A Black Feminist Statement”; Hall et al., Policing the Crisis; Crenshaw, “Demarginalizing the Intersection”; Collins, “The Social Construction”; and Chun et al., “Intersectionality.”5.
