Conceptual Aphasia in Black : Displacing Racial Formation Paperback / softback
Edited by P. Khalil Saucier, Tryon P. Woods
Part of the Critical Africana Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents a metacritique of racial formation theory.
The essays within this volume explore the fault lines of the racial formation concept, identify the power relations to which it inheres, and resolve the ethical coordinates for alternative ways of conceiving of racism and its correlations with sexism, homophobia, heteronormativity, gender politics, empire, economic exploitation, and other valences of bodily construction, performance, and control in the twenty-first century.
Collectively, the contributors advance the argument that contemporary racial theorizing remains mired in antiblackness.
Across a diversity of approaches and objects of analysis, the contributors assess what we describe as the conceptual aphasia gripping racial theorizing in our multicultural moment: analyses of racism struck dumb when confronted with the insatiable specter of black historical struggle.
