Description:
Critique of the Leftist Utopian Imagination
Room: Palace
Program Committee
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University
In this session panelists will explore the limits of the leftist
imagination about the future society. For radicals of almost all
political leanings, the future ”communist” or ”anarchist” society
is seen as the solution for all current ills. But this future, imagined
by mostly white, male radicals, is only feasible if one believes that
class is the primary contradiction of modern societies. If one
believes that the contemporary matrix of domination is much
more complex, then the program for social emancipation needs
to have in its agenda other sources of social division. This session
is in part inspired by last year’s panels at the ASA on ”real
utopias” and the disappointment of race scholars and feminists
of color with how narrow their views of the present and of the
future were. However, the limits of the leftist imagination on the
future society has a long history and we hope panelist address
that history in this session.
