Product Information
The Enigma of Clarence Thomas is a groundbreaking revisionist take on the Supreme Court justice everyone knows about but no one knows. Most people can tell you two things about Clarence Thomas: Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment, and he almost never speaks from the bench. Here are some things they don't know: Thomas is a black nationalist. In college he memorized the speeches of Malcolm X. He believes white people are incurably racist. In the first examination of its kind, Corey Robin - one of the foremost analysts of the right - delves deeply into both Thomas's biography and his jurisprudence, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches. The hidden source of Thomas's conservative views, Robin shows, is a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. Thomas is convinced that any government action on behalf of African-Americans will be tainted by racism; the most African-Americans can hope for is that white people will get out of their way. There's a reason, Robin concludes, why liberals often complain that Thomas doesn't speak but seldom pay attention when he does. Were they to listen, they'd hear a racial pessimism that often sounds similar to their own. Cutting across the ideological spectrum, this unacknowledged consensus about the impossibility of progress is key to understanding today's political stalemate.

Reviews
Praise for The Reactionary Mind "The book that predicted Trump." -- The New Yorker "One of the more influential political works of the last decade... Robin is a synthesizer and a brilliant and ruthless diviner of the hidden wellsprings of absolutely everything." --The Washington Monthly "Robin is an engaging writer, and just the kind of broad-ranging public intellectual all too often missing in academic political science... Robin's arguments deserve widespread attention." --The New Republic "A groundbreaking book." --Rolling Stone, "When Clarence Thomas took his seat on the Supreme Court, no one could have predicted that he would become both the silent justice and the most influential justice. Corey Robin's elegant and insightful analysis shows how Thomas's blend of black nationalism and conservatism helped him fashion a jurisprudence that will shape American life for years to come. This is the book Court watchers--which we all should be--have waited for." --Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello "Robin is the rare left-wing observer who takes Thomas's political and legal mind seriously.... Thoroughly researched and engagingly written... this book is a valuable and overdue engagement with the nexus between Thomas's early life, his black nationalism, and his political views." --National Review "Clarence Thomas is by far the Supreme Court's most interesting and perplexing justice, criticized by many and understood by few. Working through Thomas's writings, Corey Robin tells a remarkable story about a remarkable figure--a man of complex views whose austere philosophy has been hiding in plain sight. Robin shows us Thomas's black nationalism, his deep pessimism about race relations, his fervent embrace of capitalism, and his stern demand for a severe and uncompromising system of criminal justice. What emerges is a portrait that is as fascinating as it is disturbing. You may think you know who Clarence Thomas is, but you don't know the half of it. This book is a revelation." --Jack M. Balkin , author of Living Originalism "In his provocative new book, The Enigma of Clarence Thomas , Corey Robin... is deconstructing a sphinx, and his point carries the uncomfortable ring of truth." -- The Atlantic "It requires the ferocious curiosity and intellectual courage of a Corey Robin to brave one of the most vexing mysteries faced by Supreme Court watchers: How to reconcile Clarence Thomas's radical conservatism with his unforgiving use of race as jurisprudential lodestar? For conservatives blinkered to Thomas's essentialism on race, and for liberals who refuse to reckon with his lived experience of black marginalization and stigma, this book will be equally discomfiting and eye-opening." --Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor, Slate "Lucid and brilliant... A magnificent and serious study... Read The Enigma of Clarence Thomas as well as everything else Robin has written. No political thinker in our time has been more devoted to understanding political thinking (as opposed to sociologizing or moralizing politics)." -- The Humanist "Only a political diagnostician as keenly incisive as Corey Robin could render such a complex and fascinating portrait of Clarence Thomas. This meticulous analysis of the touchstones and turning points in Thomas's life finds ideological consistency in the seemingly quirky patchwork of his thought: an odd amalgam of ultra-libertarian revanchism, patriarchal fundamentalism, black nationalism, and state-backed authoritarianism. Robin delivers a riveting guide to the multiple paradoxes that underlie Thomas's unusually self-protective persona, and masterfully shows their resonance in the juridical rulings that govern us all." --Patricia J. Williams, author of The Alchemy of Race and Rights, "When Clarence Thomas took his seat on the Supreme Court, no one could have predicted that he would become both the silent justice and the most influential justice. Corey Robin's elegant and insightful analysis shows how Thomas's blend of black nationalism and conservatism helped him fashion a jurisprudence that will shape American life for years to come.

Corey Robin's elegant and insightful analysis shows how Thomas's blend of black nationalism and conservatism helped him fashion a jurisprudence that will shape American life for years to come. This is the book Court watchers - which we all should be -have waited for." --Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello, "Robin sees a powerful continuity between Thomas''s black nationalism and his conservatism, extrapolating from his words a coherent worldview that helps explain his approach to a slew of issues, from voting rights to gun ownership, from the Commerce Clause to gender relations.... The Enigma of Clarence Thomas is the first book to fully tease out these strands of his thinking. The results are fascinating.... The brilliance of Robin''s counterintuitive argument is that it relies so little on speculation. Reading the book can feel a bit like the first time you watched those last few minutes of The Usual Suspects : It all starts clicking, dreamlike, into place." -- Bookforum "When Clarence Thomas took his seat on the Supreme Court, no one could have predicted that he would become both the silent justice and the most influential justice.
