A major intervention in the fields of critical race theory, black
feminism, and queer theory, "The Erotic Life of Racism" contends
that theoretical and political analyses of race have largely failed
to understand and describe the profound ordinariness of racism and
the ways that it operates as a quotidian practice. If racism has an
everyday life, how does it remain so powerful and yet mask its very
presence? To answer this question, Sharon Patricia Holland moves
into the territory of the erotic, understanding racism's practice
as constitutive to the practice of racial being and erotic choice.
Reemphasizing the black/white binary, Holland reinvigorates
critical engagement with race and racism. She argues that only by
bringing critical race theory, queer theory, and black feminist
thought into conversation with each other can we fully envision the
relationship between racism and the personal and political
dimensions of our desire. "The Erotic Life of Racism" provocatively
redirects our attention to a desire no longer independent of racism
but rather embedded within it.
