Anger is an emotion that affects everyone regardless of culture,
class, race, or gender—but at the same time, being angry always
results from the circumstances in which people find themselves. In
On Anger, Sue J. Kim opens a stimulating dialogue between cognitive
studies and cultural studies to argue that anger is always socially
and historically constructed and complexly ideological, and that
the predominant individualistic conceptions of anger are
insufficient to explain its collective, structural, and historical
nature. On Anger examines the dynamics of racial anger in global
late capitalism, bringing into conversation work on political anger
in ethnic, postcolonial, and cultural studies with recent studies
on emotion in cognitive studies. Kim uses a variety of literary and
media texts to show how narratives serve as a means of reflecting
on experiences of anger and also how we think about anger—its
triggers, its deeper causes, its wrongness or rightness. The
narratives she studies include the film Crash, Maxine Hong
Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous
Conditions and The Book of Not, Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Devil on
the Cross and Wizard of the Crow, and the HBO series The Wire. Kim
concludes by distinguishing frustration and outrage from anger
through a consideration of Stéphane Hessel’s call to arms,
Indignez-vous! One of the few works that focuses on both anger and
race, On Anger demonstrates that race—including whiteness—is
central to our conceptions and experiences of anger.
