It highlights the language of gender and sexuality that writers use to depict the psychological injuries inflicted by racism on men of color--a language that relies on metaphors of emasculation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on how homosexuality comes to function as a powerful symbol for a feminizing racism, and explains why this disturbing symbolism proves to be so rhetorically and emotionally effective. This study also explores the influential concept of literature that these writers promote--a view of writing as a cultural and political activity capable of producing the most virile and racially authentic forms of manhood. In comparing African American and Asian American writings, this book offers the first scholarly account of how black and yellow conceptions of masculinity are constructed in relation to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.94w x 0.70d","brand":"Daniel Kim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947218141439,"sku":"9780804751094","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d66e2dff-0781-4601-80c5-ffe24f36a900.jpg?v=1681517424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-manhood-in-black-and-daniel-kim-9780804751094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
