Race/Sex - Their Sameness, Difference and Interplay (Paperback, New)

Race/Sex is the first forum for combined discussion of racial theory and gender theory. 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.
Race/Sex 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, Race/Sex is likely to spark debate and further research in 'unified field theory'.
