Fair Sex, Savage Dreams Race, Psychoanalysis, Sexual Difference

"In this groundbreaking book Jean Walton subjects psychoanalysis to a sustained and highly illuminating ethnographic critique. She has isolated a period-the 1920s and 1930s, the era of the great debates about femininity-in which there is a critical confrontation between questions of gender/sexuality and questions of race. Her incisive analyses of five women writers of this period are often fascinating, always provocative, and she demonstrates persuasively the inextricability of sexuality and race in their attempts to negotiate a 'speaking position' for themselves within a masculine domain."-Mary Anne Doane, author ofFemmes Fatales: Feminism, Film Theory, PsychoanalysisWalton, Jean is the author of 'Fair Sex, Savage Dreams Race, Psychoanalysis, Sexual Difference' with ISBN 9780822326113 and ISBN 0822326116.
