Opis

The connections between race and sexuality are constant in our lives, however race and sexuality are not often linked together in productive, analytical ways.

Recenzje

"Race and Sexuality shows how the connections between these forms of difference emerge in the stereotypes that inform how one group thinks of another, in political agendas that foster inequalities, in media representations of domestic minorities and transnational migrants, and in the justifications of contemporary wars. In doing so, the book posits the still novel idea that to study the intersections of race and sexuality is nothing less than a confrontation with everyday life." Roderick Ferguson, University of Illinois at Chicago "This book is a wonderful primer on the intersections of race and sexuality. Accessible and lucid, it leads uninitiated and sophisticated students through the complexities of racialized sexualities, addressing timely issues and concerns across the global North and global South." Jyoti Puri, Simmons College, Boston
