In sixteen articles, avant-garde scholars of African American philosophy and liberatory criticism explore and explode the categories of race, sex and gender into new trajectories that include sexuality, black masculinity and mixed-race identity. br br b /b b i Race/Sex /i /b contains many new and provocative insights, such as Berel Lang's construal of racism and sexism as metaphysical stances; Jorge Garcia's argument that racism and sexism are both best understood as "in the heart"; Lewis Gordon's conclusion that in America, "the phallus is white skin"; Naomi Zack's historical analysis of the sexualization of black female race through the monetarization of black maternity; Laurie Shrage's use of queer theory to liberate choices of racial, as well as gender, identity; and John Pittman's presentation of the performative dimensions of black masculinity in Malcolm X's autobiography. Clearly written and insightful, b /b b i Race/Sex /i /b is likely to spark debate and further research in "unified field theory." |
