“…Third, there is a need to continue theorizing the local state in late neoliberalism. It is pertinent to examine how the transformation of cities and states is a co-constituted process, and how the 'national' is being built into the local state in different geographical contexts and in various political projects dealing with issues such as housing, economic development and policing urban space in the name of 'security' (Coleman 2009;Kaufman 2016). In other words, the state often plays a role in transforming cities during the age of neoliberalism, but these state-orchestrated projects often occur in extra-local relations beyond the localities so impacted.…”

“…We address Dodge and Kitchin's spatial imaginary, before turning to some of the places of code/space that appear in their accounts, most notably the home and the airport. Though theorizations of code/space have expanded significantly since the mid-2000s to questions of big data (Burns 2014;Kitchin 2014;Wilson 2015), smart cities (Gabrys 2014), and algorithmic forms of policing and profiling (Amoore 2009;Kaufman 2016), we draw on these early theorizations for two main reasons.…”

“…Precisely the discourse of essential equality mobilized to oppose the previous racism is thus turned around into a rhetorical demand for par performance from actors in an economic field. Race is then articulated from self-evident, statistically (scientifically, so to say) obtained facts on individuals (see e.g., Kaufman 2016). Like the absolute science of mathematics, statistical data apparently tells the empirical truth in the hic et nunc, beyond the can of worms opened by historical and theoretical arguments (Friedman 1953;Becker 1993).…”

This article addresses the social and historical relation between Chicago School neo-liberalism and contemporary racism, and its connections with the formations of racism in classical liberalism and its colonial character. I show the pragmatic and discursive operations of neo-racism in the context of this shift to a neo-liberal discourse, drawing particularly on Michel Foucault's seminars, Society Must be Defended, and Birth of Bio-politics. Insofar as "race" cannot be understood as a discrete category outside its social, economic, moral, and political embeddedness in liberalism, I argue that methodological individualism and expectations of high-specialization constrain the theorization of race in U.S. scholarship. Racial lines will continue to be (re)excavated, borrowed, or inscribed afresh to channel, reinforce, and institutionalize the social violence that neo-liberalism must unleash.Keywords: neoliberalism; race; Foucault; liberalism; internal racism This article analyzes the social and historical relationship between Chicago school neo-liberalism and contemporary racism, or what some have called neo-racism (Balibar 1991;Bonilla-Silva 1997; Goldberg 1993Goldberg , 2011, in light of the formation of racism in the colonial origins of classical liberalism. I will be discussing racialization through the thought/works of Michel Foucault, who locates race in the historical formations of liberal ideology and governmental practice. I will then move on to pursue the ramifications of the constitutive raciality of liberalism into post world war II neo-liberalism. My emphasis is on the seeming coincidence that an extreme discourse such as American neo-liberalism should originate in a country where a racial schism runs deep in the social consciousness. I am arguing that the historically entrenched sociological condition of race, and its punitive ferocity, make possible the extreme metaphysics of American neo-liberalism. The latter, in turn, engineers a form of racism that operates effortlessly, if viciously, under the cover of a post-racial epoch.
