Deconstruction Reading Politics

This collection of essays thinks through deconstruction’s relation to politics by explicating the text of Derrida in relation to political examples. Neither ’deconstruction’ nor ’reading’ nor ’politics’ is left untouched in the encounters explored in this volume, dispelling the notion of a separation of deconstruction from the everyday.
