{"product_id":"black-flesh-matters-1","title":"Black Flesh Matters","description":"These essays, written over more than thirty years of Vincent L. Wimbush’s career as a scholar, provide a response to the nearly universal, persistent, and sedimented modern-world hyper-signification of Black flesh, always needing to be framed, humiliated, policed, and dirtied. Because Wimbush is a scholar of religion as culture—having to do with social practices and their psycho-politics as regimes of knowledge, discourse, formation, and power relations—his ex-centric transdisciplinary interest in scriptures has been viewed, in some circles, as controversial. Yet it is Wimbush’s linkage of the modern hyper-signification of Black flesh—leading to racialization and racism, especially anti-Black racism—to the scriptural as shorthand for discourse and relations of power that makes this work compelling.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261856960856,"sku":"9781978712713","price":45.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781978712713.jpg?v=1771392637","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/black-flesh-matters-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
