Strange Affinities – The Gender and Sexual Politics of Comparative Racialization: Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe

Autor Grace Kyungwon Hong, Roderick A. Ferguson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2011
Representing some of the most exciting work in critical ethnic studies, the essays in this collection examine the production of racialized, gendered, and sexualized difference, and the possibilities for progressive coalitions, or the "strange affinities," afforded by nuanced comparative analyses of racial formations. The nationalist and identity-based concepts of race underlying the mid-twentieth-century movements for decolonization and social change are not adequate to the tasks of critiquing the racial configurations generated by neocolonialism and contesting its inequities. Contemporary regimes of power produce racialized, gendered, and sexualized violence and labor exploitation, and they render subjects redundant and disposable by creating new, nominally nonracialized categories of privilege and stigma. The editors of "Strange Affinities" contend that the greatest potential for developing much-needed alternative comparative methods lies in women of color feminism, and the related intellectual tradition that Roderick A. Ferguson has called queer of color critique. Exemplified by the work of Audre Lorde, CherrIe Moraga, Barbara Smith, and the Combahee River Collective, these critiques do not presume homogeneity across racial or national groups. Instead, they offer powerful relational analyses of the racialized, gendered, and sexualized valuation and devaluation of human life. Contributors

Recenzii

“In a world reorganized by neoliberal globalization, the stark inequalities of new class and racial formations require newly sharpened analytic and political tools. The essays collected in Roderick A. Ferguson and Grace Kyungwon Hong’s Strange Affinities address these realities, stretching our too static concepts and methods, and challenging our political visions. Drawing on women of color feminism and queer of color critique, this indispensable volume reinvents existing ethnic studies, feminist and queer theory modes of analysis to provide new ways of thinking the intertwined histories of race, class, nation, gender and sexuality for the 21st century.” Lisa Duggan, author of Sapphic Slashers: Sex, Violence and American Modernity“This ambitious and theoretically compelling volume lays the groundwork for a ‘new ethnic studies’ by centering gender and sexuality within comparative race projects. In a globally integrated economy, with older forms of colonialism and the nation-state giving way to new modes of neocolonial exploitation and domination under the shadow of global capitalism, the need for a new ethnic studies that can unpack the political and cultural implications of these evolving social relations in various contexts and locations is ever more urgent.” David L. Eng, author of The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy
