Sommario/riassunto |
|
In contemporary race and sexuality studies, the topic of animality emerges almost exclusively in order to index the dehumanization that makes discrimination possible. 'Bestial Traces' argues that a more fundamental disavowal of human animality conditions the bestialization of racial and sexual minorities. |
