Locating Race provides a powerful critique of theories and fictions of globalization that privilege migration, transnationalism, and flows. Malini Johar Schueller argues that in order to resist racism and imperialism in the United States we need to focus on local understandings of how different racial groups are specifically constructed and oppressed by the nation-state and imperial relations. In the writings of Black Nationalists, Native American activists, and groups like Partido Nacional La Raza Unida, the author finds an imagined identity of post-colonial citizenship based on a race- and placebased activism that forms solidarities with oppressed groups worldwide and suggests possibilities for a radical globalism. “This is an interesting and well-researched contribution to postcolonial and postnationalist American Studies. Schueller’s argument is clear and important: postcolonial theories have tended to universalize gender, sexuality, race, class, and other modes of identification, and we need more detailed studies of ‘local, situated knowledge’ dealing with how such subalterns are specifically constructed.” — John Carlos Rowe, author of The New American Studies Malini Johar Schueller is Professor of English at the University of Florida and the author of The Politics of Voice: Liberalism and Social Criticism from Franklin to Kingston, also published by SUNY Press, and U.S. Orientalisms: Race, Nation, and Gender in Literature, 1790–1890.

Feminine Look shows how the Lacanian concept of sexuation makes possible a new account of the relationship among feminism, psychoanalysis, and spectatorship. Whereas previous studies have tended to ask how spectatorship may be influenced by sexual difference, Jennifer Friedlander asks how particular spectatorial encounters may engender different “sexuated” responses. jennifer friedlander JANuARy • 139 pp • 13 b/w photographs, 3 figures $17.95 pb 978-0-7914-7296-5 e The Future of Invention THE FuTuRE OF INVENTION Rhetoric, Postmodernism, and the Problem of Change John Muckelbauer Examines the concept of rhetorical invention from an affirmative, nondialectical perspective. Rhetoric, Postmodernism, and the Problem of Change John Muckelbauer e JANuARy • 198 pp $17.95 pb 978-0-7914-7420-4 e www.sunypress.edu 41 The Future of Invention links classical rhetorical practices of invention with the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida and proposes that some of the most crucial implications of postmodern theory have gone largely unattended. Drawing on such classical rhetorical concepts as doxa, imitation, kairos, and topos, and engaging key works by Aristotle, Plato, the Sophists, and others, John Muckelbauer demonstrates how rhetorical invention can offer a nondialectical, “affirmative” sense of change that invites us to rethink the ways in which we read, write, and respond to others. http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61546 http://www.sunypress.edu http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61611 http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61736
