JSU Collective Self Determination and Common Oppression Theories Discussion

 

I’m working on a Research & Summaries exercise and need support.

Reading: Fanon, selections from The Wretched of the Earth; Shelby, “Foundations of Black Solidarity: Collective Identity or Common Oppression?” Nussbaum, “Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism”

1) What is “collective self determination theory”, as defined by Shelby? By contrast, what is “common oppression theory”? What question are both of these theories attempting to answer? Which theory do you find more compelling and why?
