For your second paper, you will select two sources from seminars 6 through 10 and comparatively analyze either the question of race or gender in their conception of revolution. Do they present the race/gender question as central to generating a new politics? Do they envision revolution as totally transforming basic categories of race and gender? Or, do their revolutionary visions of solidarity and equality contain limitations on the answers revolution can offer such questions? How should we understand those limitations historically? 


You should choose two different pieces of material that explicitly or implicitly take up the above questions (be careful, some materials will serve this analysis better than others) and analyze how they approach the race or gender question differently. What are the importance of those differences? Can historical context help us situate and understand those differences? 


You can address one or several of the above questions, but you should do so with a detailed, careful analysis of your sources. Only include a summary when you must make a point in your argument (and keep it short). Please also observe the following:


  • At least one of your sources must be a primary source –– meaning a historical text –– but you may comparatively read it against a secondary source (meaning a work of scholarship, like the essay by Setsu Shigematsu or Brent Edwards. If you want to use sources from the first part of the semester (i.e., He-Yin’s “Feminist Manifesto”), that is possible, but please confirm your selection with me first via email ASAP. 

  • Your paper should focus on a detailed, comparative analysis. Do not submit a paper that has a paragraph dedicated to source A, and then a paragraph dedicated to source B. Such papers are rarely comparative. Instead, write a paper that comparatively analyzes facets of each source in every paragraph. Papers that simply summarize sources or, even worse, provide a hollow summary in Chap GPT robot prose, will not receive a passing grade.

  • In addition to the above, the evaluation criteria for short paper 1 will also apply.


Your response to this question should contain:

  1. a clear argument, supported by 

  2. a detailed analysis of your source; and 

  3. the argument should situate the source in its historical context.
