Testing these concepts by exploring various theoretical approaches and their shortcomings, Lindon Barrett finds that the gulf between \"the street\" (where race is acknowledged as a powerful enigma) and the literary academy (where until recently it has not been) can be understood as a symptom of racial violence. While commonly approaches to race and value are examined historically or sociologically, this intriguing study provides a new critical approach that speaks to theorists of race as well as gender and queer studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942398132512,"sku":"NEW0521621038","price":184.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/blackness-and-value-seeing-double-cambridge-studies-in-american-literature-and-culture-series-number-117-0521621038","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
