{"product_id":"grotesque-touch-amy-king-9781469664637","title":"Grotesque Touch: Women, Violence, and Contemporary Circum-Caribbean Narratives","description":"In this book, Amy K. King examines how violence between women in contemporary Caribbean and American texts is rooted in plantation slavery. Analyzing films, television shows, novels, short stories, poems, book covers, and paintings, King shows how contemporary media reuse salacious and stereotypical depictions of relationships between women living within the plantation system to confront its legacy in the present. The vestiges of these relationships--enslavers and enslaved women, employers and domestic servants, lovers and rivals--negate characters' efforts to imagine non-abusive approaches to power and agency. King's work goes beyond any other study to date to examine the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, and nationality in U.S. and Caribbean depictions of violence between women in the wake of slavery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469664631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469664637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Amy King","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944631107839,"sku":"9781469664637","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16506c88-42ec-4fd3-8c78-33e96bb71f54.jpg?v=1681504479","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grotesque-touch-amy-king-9781469664637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
