Fugitive Rousseau explores slavery and primitivism in Rousseau's political writings by contextualizing them in modern European empire and Roman imperial philosophy. Fugitive Rousseau argues against seeing Rousseau as either a nativist or cosmopolitan, either communitarian or liberal, and instead reconstructs a radical conception of freedom based in fugitive political resistance.
