After all, it describes mixtures that were not supposed to have emerged in the plantation societies of the Caribbean but did so through their capacity to exemplify living culture, thought, and political practice. Similar processes continue today, when people who once were strangers find themselves unequal co-occupants of new political locations they both seek to call ?home. ?Unlike multiculturalism, in which different cultures are thought to co-exist relatively separately, creolization describes how people reinterpret themselves through interaction with one another. While indebted to comparative political theory, Gordon offers a critique of comparison by demonstrating the generative capacity of creolizing methodologies. She does so by bringing together the eighteenth-century revolutionary Swiss thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the twentieth-century Martinican-born Algerian liberationist Frantz Fanon. While both provocatively challenged whether we can study the world in ways that do not duplicate the prejudices that sustain its inequalities, Fanon, she argues, outlined a vision of how to bring into being the democratically legitimate alternatives that Rousseau mainly imagined. 410 0$aJust ideas. 606 $aGeneral will 606 $aLegitimacy of governments 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 610 $aCreolization. 610 $aFanon. 610 $aRousseau. 610 $aalternative methodologies. 610 $acolonization. 610 $acomparative political theory. 610 $adecolonization. 610 $ademocratic legitimacy. 610 $anational consciousness. 610 $arevolution. 610 $athe general will. 615 0$aGeneral will. 615 0$aLegitimacy of governments. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.01 686 $aPOL010000$aSOC001000$aPHI019000$2bisacsh 700 $aGordon$b Jane Anna$f1976-$0894064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827854803321 996 $aCreolizing political theory$94105128 997 $aUNINA
