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.How 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.Through 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51858993119520,"sku":"NEW0415192544","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61cVbLmY6DL.jpg?v=1781585412","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/desiring-whiteness-a-lacanian-analysis-of-race-opening-out-feminism-for-today-0415192544","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
