Although the need to understand the imaginative and ideological coordinates of white supremacy has currently come to the fore, truly, it has been an ongoing concern. As George M. Fredrickson wrote in his classic 1981 study,

This is a story of three journeys, by three people, in three very different times. But each of the journeys ends in the same area in the west of Ireland, and each journey is founded on a search for a more perfect world. A search for utopia.

Utopie – Thomas Morus dachte sie sich vor 500 Jahren als Insel – die Insel als ein Gegenentwurf zur Gesellschaft. Bei Morus ist sie eine ideale, konfliktfreie Welt, während Gilles Deleuze sie sich, Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, eher als einen wüsten Ort vorstellte – allein schon deshalb, weil sie von der übrigen Welt abgesondert ist. Utopie [gr. οὐ und τόπος, ‘nicht’, ‘Ort’], der Nicht-Ort. Michel Foucault, Zeitgenosse Deleuzes, stellt in seinen Überlegungen zu ‘anderen Räumen’ den Gegenwartsbezug der Utopie heraus, was ihn dann konsequenterweise zur Formulierung der Heterotopien bringt.
