{"product_id":"the-smell-of-slavery-andrew-kettler-9781108490733","title":"The Smell of Slavery: Olfactory Racism and the Atlantic World","description":"In the Atlantic World, different groups were aromatically classified in opposition to other ethnic, gendered, and class assemblies due to an economic necessity that needed certain bodies to be defined as excremental, which culminated in the creation of a progressive tautology that linked Africa and waste through a conceptual hendiadys born of capitalist licentiousness. The African subject was defined as a scented object, appropriated as filthy to create levels of ownership through discourse that marked African peoples as unable to access spaces of Western modernity. Embodied cultural knowledge was potent enough to alter the biological function of the five senses to create a European olfactory consciousness made to sense the African other as foul. Fascinating, informative, and deeply researched, The Smell of Slavery exposes that concerns with pungency within the Western self were emitted outward upon the freshly dug outhouse of the mass slave grave called the Atlantic World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Kettler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108490735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108490733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.11h x 6.30w x 0.74d","brand":"Andrew Kettler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990786015487,"sku":"9781108490733","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72ce918a-8d75-49ec-be5e-d07d7adb662e.jpg?v=1683306675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-smell-of-slavery-andrew-kettler-9781108490733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
