Prevailing approaches to thinking about slavery in political theory tend to disembed it from its broader socioeconomic context, which has led theorists to overlook some of the distinctive horrors associated with capitalist slavery in particular. In response, I develop a theory of capitalist slavery as expropriation, conceived as violent domination harnessed to the imperatives of capital accumulation. Capitalist slavery-as-expropriation encompasses two analytically distinct moments: the moment of confiscation, in which human lives and capacities are enclosed via commodification, and the moment of conscription, in which enslaved labor is mobilized via routine violence.

However, his engagement with it was distinctively revolutionary rather than reverent: he rejected American exceptionalism but found in the nation’s central icon a radical model for contesting its fundamental injustices.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/34185331/Subverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Redemption_and_Revolution_in_David_Walkers_Appeal","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2017-08-09T17:13:11.831-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":2342959,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":55239851,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/55239851/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"LCH_Article_Onlinefirst.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55239851/download_file?st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Subverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Red.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55239851/LCH_Article_Onlinefirst-libre.pdf?1512758878=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSubverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Red.pdf\u0026Expires=1732795687\u0026Signature=gN-lgPDGIVZLnAoc8c9k8VdXMn8yKo7wtjSpFx~mZQaKjnm7GFpt8uJKK358CILSPZyVN97vjdnxH1NzsZL2hhGOxN-XrZGh4Uc3nG9DLE06VVr70oiBuIoS1eXgV3FDEzHZD531KI0Bs0FYo~xe8VWLO5mhQBA32OPpb5ZnFD8s8X0cZruCoe4GEFGVvqLZ8r~TDaCie6PlHwdP1Yob1wW-hhRGWcesJp8Hdb~Vlzyc7Znnx~w3~9DOpATZTXdCKhfgECqT0FMOv-x19w~wDVvOlLaw6k4hcq-Qs0xOFodswUh1U2ArN4qa2T4TjseGaG4JfdklcStdSztPd2fiRg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Subverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Redemption_and_Revolution_in_David_Walkers_Appeal","translated_slug":"","page_count":22,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":2342959,"first_name":"Michael","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Gorup","page_name":"MichaelGorup","domain_name":"ncf","created_at":"2012-08-20T13:21:10.690-07:00","display_name":"Michael Gorup","url":"https://ncf.academia.edu/MichaelGorup"},"attachments":[{"id":55239851,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/55239851/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"LCH_Article_Onlinefirst.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55239851/download_file?st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Subverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Red.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55239851/LCH_Article_Onlinefirst-libre.pdf?1512758878=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSubverting_the_American_Paradox_Race_Red.pdf\u0026Expires=1732795687\u0026Signature=gN-lgPDGIVZLnAoc8c9k8VdXMn8yKo7wtjSpFx~mZQaKjnm7GFpt8uJKK358CILSPZyVN97vjdnxH1NzsZL2hhGOxN-XrZGh4Uc3nG9DLE06VVr70oiBuIoS1eXgV3FDEzHZD531KI0Bs0FYo~xe8VWLO5mhQBA32OPpb5ZnFD8s8X0cZruCoe4GEFGVvqLZ8r~TDaCie6PlHwdP1Yob1wW-hhRGWcesJp8Hdb~Vlzyc7Znnx~w3~9DOpATZTXdCKhfgECqT0FMOv-x19w~wDVvOlLaw6k4hcq-Qs0xOFodswUh1U2ArN4qa2T4TjseGaG4JfdklcStdSztPd2fiRg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1696,"name":"Political Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Theory"},{"id":4487,"name":"Revolutions","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Revolutions"},{"id":5453,"name":"Race and Ethnicity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Race_and_Ethnicity"},{"id":64681,"name":"Declaration of Independence","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Declaration_of_Independence"},{"id":84214,"name":"African-American Political Thought","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/African-American_Political_Thought"},{"id":86393,"name":"Abolitionism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Abolitionism"},{"id":245126,"name":"David Walker","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/David_Walker"}],"urls":[{"id":8373893,"url":"http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1743872117747273"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

I examine the development of this conundrum of race and peoplehood in four distinct contexts: the Founding, the Jacksonian era, the Jim Crow South, and the Black Freedom Struggle. As I show, racism emerged amid the democratic ferment of the American 18th century as a means of reconciling self-styled egalitarians to the persistence of chattel slavery beyond the Revolution. Rather than anchoring subordination in Old World notions of rank and status, racism carried a distinctively modern and democratic appeal because it located inferiority in subjectivity. I interrogate the dynamic practical complementarity of democratic politics and racism in chapters on Thomas Jefferson’s writings on race and slavery, and the rhetoric of popular authority in Jim Crow era lynchings. However, this union of racism and democracy was never beyond dispute. In chapters on David Walker’s abolitionism and the political thought of Black Power, I show how African-American political thinkers have productively seized upon a tension at the center of U.S. racial democracy, subversively invoking the revolutionary language of popular sovereignty to contest the polity’s racial order. The dissertation therefore shows that popular sovereignty has been a politically promiscuous political idiom, one that is capable of being mobilized for purposes both revolutionary and counterrevolutionary.2023-07-1</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84916297"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84916297"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84916297; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=84916297]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=84916297]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84916297; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='84916297']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 84916297, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=84916297]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":84916297,"title":"The People in Black and White: Popular Sovereignty and Race in American Political Thought","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This dissertation addresses how and why popular sovereignty has been invoked to both entrench and contest racial hierarchy across the history of American political thought.

Though enslaved people were not market subjects, this framework reveals the extent to which they were nevertheless subject to the market.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/104094758/Not_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_to_the_Market_Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-06-30T13:06:55.844-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":2342959,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"other","co_author_tags":[{"id":40053215,"work_id":104094758,"tagging_user_id":2342959,"tagged_user_id":null,"co_author_invite_id":7360165,"email":"m***p@ncf.edu","display_order":1,"name":"Michael Gorup","title":"Not Subjects of the Market, but Subject to the Market: Capitalist Slavery as Expropriation"}],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":103913191,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/103913191/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation_PT.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/103913191/download_file?st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Not_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_t.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/103913191/Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation_PT-libre.pdf?1688157868=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNot_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_t.pdf\u0026Expires=1732795687\u0026Signature=QlAK1amYXHHCFK9aFszELNT~T9p9apU1SLamrGk0~SA~8J9yCQnehLsuhtEcuL3GrKXtJ-6dVpnThX46H~gj3bgj3IMUDALxHvXHIBsq-~t6xmixq~M9Ny8m8YBI5qB20NTa6TRFapjkM~1C5b~e6h5~mceTc~VrdyiL4XkxtmPmXw2X1mNqNakY5dqYWMIfEC7jBmWaI0cv62IJRrsCA1Mhkw6kfk7gpmlhXx5fCg5Oz7hhJph5OTs-Tz1-hVPZ-zKKzklrxq3So6wIQ32qjDw6u5NQPxDBwfi-GIGnsIf4Js6emPs6rCo8G~EW9PbvlmOVyYg4j4ow2xC6cPnz8w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Not_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_to_the_Market_Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation","translated_slug":"","page_count":27,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":2342959,"first_name":"Michael","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Gorup","page_name":"MichaelGorup","domain_name":"ncf","created_at":"2012-08-20T13:21:10.690-07:00","display_name":"Michael Gorup","url":"https://ncf.academia.edu/MichaelGorup"},"attachments":[{"id":103913191,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/103913191/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation_PT.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/103913191/download_file?st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc5MjA4Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Not_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_t.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/103913191/Capitalist_Slavery_as_Expropriation_PT-libre.pdf?1688157868=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNot_Subjects_of_the_Market_but_Subject_t.pdf\u0026Expires=1732795687\u0026Signature=QlAK1amYXHHCFK9aFszELNT~T9p9apU1SLamrGk0~SA~8J9yCQnehLsuhtEcuL3GrKXtJ-6dVpnThX46H~gj3bgj3IMUDALxHvXHIBsq-~t6xmixq~M9Ny8m8YBI5qB20NTa6TRFapjkM~1C5b~e6h5~mceTc~VrdyiL4XkxtmPmXw2X1mNqNakY5dqYWMIfEC7jBmWaI0cv62IJRrsCA1Mhkw6kfk7gpmlhXx5fCg5Oz7hhJph5OTs-Tz1-hVPZ-zKKzklrxq3So6wIQ32qjDw6u5NQPxDBwfi-GIGnsIf4Js6emPs6rCo8G~EW9PbvlmOVyYg4j4ow2xC6cPnz8w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":813,"name":"Political Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Philosophy"},{"id":1696,"name":"Political Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Theory"},{"id":1698,"name":"Marxism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Marxism"},{"id":5432,"name":"Slavery","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Slavery"},{"id":9705,"name":"Capitalism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Capitalism"},{"id":27626,"name":"Frederick Douglass","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Frederick_Douglass"},{"id":44722,"name":"Power and domination","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Power_and_domination"},{"id":86393,"name":"Abolitionism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Abolitionism"},{"id":302780,"name":"Social Death","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Death"},{"id":342943,"name":"Expropriation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Expropriation"},{"id":362236,"name":"Freedom as Non-domination","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Freedom_as_Non-domination"},{"id":700358,"name":"Racial capitalism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Racial_capitalism"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Despite political theorists' renewed interest in popular sovereignty, scholars have not accounted for this sordid history in their genealogies of modern democracy and popular constituent power.

I examine the development of this conundrum of race and peoplehood in four distinct contexts: the Founding, the Jacksonian era, the Jim Crow South, and the Black Freedom Struggle. As I show, racism emerged amid the democratic ferment of the American 18th century as a means of reconciling self-styled egalitarians to the persistence of chattel slavery beyond the Revolution. Rather than anchoring subordination in Old World notions of rank and status, racism carried a distinctively modern and democratic appeal because it located inferiority in subjectivity. I interrogate the dynamic practical complementarity of democratic politics and racism in chapters on Thomas Jefferson’s writings on race and slavery, and the rhetoric of popular authority in Jim Crow era lynchings.
