- Summary:
- Racial injustice, at its core, is the domination of time. The racially dominated are not free to define what counts as 'progress,' they are not free from the accumulation of past injustices, and, most importantly, they are not free from the arbitrary organisation of work in capitalist labour markets. Utopia has been one response to this domination. William Paris here provides a theoretical account of utopia as the critical analysis of the sources of time domination, and the struggle to create emancipatory forms of life. He analyses the neglected 'utopian' tradition of justice in black political thought that insists justice can only be secured through the transformation of society as a whole. Paris reconstructs a social theory and normative account of forms of life as the struggle over how time will be organised, asking 'Can there be freedom without a new order of time'?
