{"product_id":"the-erotic-life-of-racism-sharon-patricia-holland-9780822352068","title":"The Erotic Life of Racism","description":"A major intervention in the fields of critical race theory, black feminism, and queer theory, \u003ci\u003eThe Erotic Life of Racism\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cp\u003eReemphasizing 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Erotic Life of Racism\u003c\/i\u003e provocatively redirects our attention to a desire no longer independent of racism but rather embedded within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Patricia Holland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822352060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822352068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharon Patricia Holland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996154429695,"sku":"9780822352068","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b3d9cbe-6d30-4803-9ca0-4365de3b9338.jpg?v=1683340038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-erotic-life-of-racism-sharon-patricia-holland-9780822352068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
