Abstract: The present paper critiques the recurring fetishization and glorification of micropolitics in social justice projects as they get theorized, received, and celebrated in academia, especially in American studies. Presenting the theoretical contexts of micropolitics, the paper critiques American studies scholars’ investment in those theoretical concepts that, in the name of evading manipulation, reinforces subservience for the weak and the oppressed.
