Sina Kramer, Excluded Within: The (Un)Intelligibility of Radical Political Actors Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017, 256 pp. isbn: 978-0-1906-2598-6 Rick Elmore Excluded Within is an inspired work of political philosophy that tackles the question of political agency and political exclusion. At the heart of Kramer’s book is a desire to understand how certain agents fail to appear as politically intelligible, their actions variously seen as bewildering, wild, or simply apolit- ical. Antigone, Rosa Parks, Claudette Colvin, and the 1992 Los Angeles riots/ rebellion are, for Kramer, exemplars of this kind of ambiguous political agency, figures simultaneously included in and excluded from the space of politics. This status of being politically “excluded within” is illustrated in the debate over the very naming of the 1992 Los Angeles riots/rebellion as “riots,” implying wild, unorganized, and destructive behaviors with no articulated political platform, while “rebellion” suggests organized, if still destructive, political action. What interests Kramer about these forms of political agency is the way in which they “paradoxically both ground . . . and troubl[e] the distinctions that structure political bodies and the terms of political agency,” the exclusion of the lawless destruction of property implied in the notion of riots, for example, making possible the stability of the regimes of law and property ownership (Kramer 2017, 5). Hence, Excluded Within is an account of “constitutive exclusion,” an analysis of the ways in which a logic of exclusion grounds the existence of political bodies and political agency particularly under existing regimes of 151
