In \u003ci\u003eOn Anger\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Anger\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e, Maxine Hong Kingston's \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Warrior\u003c\/i\u003e, Tsitsi Dangarembga's \u003ci\u003eNervous Conditions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Not\u003c\/i\u003e, Ngugi wa Thiong'o's \u003ci\u003eDevil on the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWizard of the Crow\u003c\/i\u003e, and the HBO series \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e. Kim concludes by distinguishing frustration and outrage from anger through a consideration of St駱hane Hessel's call to arms, \u003ci\u003eIndignez-vous!\u003c\/i\u003e One of the few works that focuses on both anger and race, \u003ci\u003eOn Anger\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that race--including whiteness--is central to our conceptions and experiences of anger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue J.
