Arbitrary Rule: Slavery, Tyranny, and the Power of Life and Death

Mary Nyquist

4.9/5 (20650 ratings)

Description:Slavery appears as a figurative construct during the English revolution of the mid-seventeenth century, and again in the American and French revolutions, when radicals represent their treatment as a form of political slavery. What, if anything, does figurative, political slavery have to do with transatlantic slavery? In "Arbitrary Rule," Mary Nyquist explores connections between political and chattel slavery by excavating the tradition of Western political thought that justifies actively opposing tyranny. She argues that as powerful rhetorical and conceptual constructs, Greco-Roman political liberty and slavery reemerge at the time of early modern Eurocolonial expansion; they help to create racialized OC freeOCO national identities and their OC unfreeOCO counterparts in non-European nations represented as inhabiting an earlier, privative age.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"Arbitrary Rule" is the first book to tackle political slaveryOCOs discursive complexity, engaging Eurocolonialism, political philosophy, and literary studies, areas of study too often kept apart. Nyquist proceeds through analyses not only of texts that are canonical in political thoughtOCoby Aristotle, Cicero, Hobbes, and LockeOCobut also of literary works by Euripides, Buchanan, Vondel, Montaigne, and Milton, together with a variety of colonialist and political writings, with special emphasis on tracts written during the English revolution. She illustrates how OC antityranny discourse, OCO which originated in democratic Athens, was adopted by republican Rome, and revived in early modern Western Europe, provided members of a OC freeOCO community with a means of protesting a threatened reduction of privileges or of consolidating a collective, political identity. Its semantic complexity, however, also enabled it to legitimize racialized enslavement and imperial expansion.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaThroughout, Nyquist demonstrates how principles relating to political slavery and tyranny are bound up with a Roman jurisprudential doctrine that sanctions the power of life and death held by the slaveholder over slaves and, by extension, the state, its representatives, or its laws over its citizenry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
