In their search for a relationship, whether long- or short-term,
how do desiring subjects signify their identities and those of
their desiring subjects? The essays in Racialized Politics of
Desire in Personal Ads take up this question by exploring how
writers of personal ads fashion themselves and those with whom they
seek a connection. More specifically, these essays explore the
politics of desire_how complex intersections among the social
categories of race, gender and sexuality within personal ads reveal
a dynamic tapestry of power relations and hierarchies. By focusing
on how, in each instance, African Americans both construct and are
constructed discursively in the brief narrative space of personals,
this collection offers a substantively new genre-based exploration
of the politics of desire and makes an important contribution to
studies of language and self; identity politics; cultural studies;
gendered, sexualized and racialized discourses; and the performance
of everyday texts that occupy scholarly attention in a variety of
different disciplines. Those interested in American Cultural
Studies, African American Studies, Sociology, Communication,
Rhetoric, Queer Studies, Critical Race Theory, Women's Studies,
Gender Studies, and Race Relations on a professional or lay basis
will find this book informative and engaging.
