{"product_id":"desiring-whiteness","title":"Desiring Whiteness","description":"Desiring Whiteness provides a compelling new interpretation of how we understand race. Race is often seen to be a social construction. Nevertheless, we continue to deploy race thinking in our everyday life as a way of telling people apart visually.\nHow do subjects become raced? Is it common sense to read bodies as racially marked? Employing Lacan's theories of the subject and sexual difference, Seshadri-Crooks explores how the discourse of race parallels that of sexual difference in making racial identity a fundamental component of our thinking.\nThrough close readings of literary and film texts, Seshardi-Crooks also investigates whether race is a system of difference equally determined by Whiteness. She argues that it is in relation to Whiteness that systems of racial classification are organized, endowing it with a power to shape human difference.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255543943512,"sku":"9780415192545","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415192545_f29d0183-dec5-458c-9977-8a30e5dca3ce.jpg?v=1768637727","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/desiring-whiteness","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
