NOTES
INTRODUCTION- Domenico Losurdo, Liberalism: A Counter- History, trans. Gregory Elliott (New York:
Verso, 2011). - For two classic texts here, see C. B. Macpherson, Democratic Theory: Essays in Retrieval,
with a new introduction (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014; orig. ed. 1973) and
Susan Moller Okin, Justice, Gender, and the Family (New York: Basic Books, 1989). - But compare Jennifer Pitts’s “imperial liberalism”: Pitts, A Turn to Empire: The Rise of
Imperial Liberalism in Britain and France (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2005). - Again, see Okin, Justice, Gender, and the Family.
- Jennifer L. Hochschild, The New American Dilemma: Liberal Democracy and School
Desegregation (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1984); Rogers M. Smith, Civic
Ideals: Conflicting Visions of Citizenship in U.S. History (New Haven, CT: Yale University
Press, 1997). - See, for example, the challenging work of Barnor Hesse, “Racialized Modernity: An
Analytics of White Mythologies,” Ethnic and Racial Studies 30, no. 4 ( July 2007): 643–
63, and, more recently, “Escaping Liberty: Western Hegemony, Black Fugitivity,” Political
Theory 42, no. 3 ( June 2014): 288– 313. - My thanks to both of the Oxford manuscript reviewers for emphasizing the importance of
making this terminological point clear. - See Onora O’Neill, “Justice, Gender, and International Relations,” in Martha Nussbaum
and Amartya Sen, eds., The Quality of Life (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1993). - Charles W. Mills, The Racial Contract (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1997).
- Consider in this connection the unexpected bestseller success of Thomas Piketty’s Capital
in the Twenty- First Century, trans. Arthur Goldhammer (Cambridge, MA: Belknap
Press, 2014). - Carole Pateman and Charles W. Mills, Contract and Domination (Malden, MA:
Polity, 2007).
