African-American exceptionalism vs coalitional politics
 

Gilroy points out that "easy claims of African-American exceptionalism" have been "challenged from within [the] black community [...] in favour of a global, coalitional politics in which anti-imperialism and anti-racism might be seen to interact if not to fuse" (4)
 
Gilroy seeks "new analytic possibilities with a general significance far beyond the well-policed borders of black particularity"
