- Description
- The author elucidates racial politics and racial subjugation, especially in their gendered and queer psychosexual dynamics. Explicating in detail two imprinting episodes in American racial history -lynching and prison rape- Pinar argues that the gender of racial politics and violence in America is in some sense queer. He pays attention to the Klu Klux Klan, the N.A.A.C.P., men and women and racial politics and women's movements.
