American Anatomies Theorizing Race and Gender

"Ignore this book at your peril! Robyn Wiegman challenges us to re-examine our most cherished platitudes about race-and-gender, including the kind of identity politics that not only leave out African American women but also reinscribe a pernicious politics of "separate but equal" through the celebration of difference. This as a stunning account of racial/gender infusions and confusions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century U. S. culture. Controversial, brilliant, provocative."-Cathy Davidson, Duke UniversityWiegman, Robyn is the author of 'American Anatomies Theorizing Race and Gender' with ISBN 9780822315919 and ISBN 0822315912.
