Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ibrahim argues that the emergence of multiracialism during the 1990's was determined by underlying and unacknowledged gender norms. Opening with a seminal moment for multiracialism - the popular appearance of Tiger Woods in 1997 - this book examines how the shifting status of racial hero for both black and multiracial communities makes sense only by means of an account of masculinity. The book looks across historical events and memoirs to reveal that gender was the starting point of an analytics that made categorical multiracialism, and multiracial politics, possible. |
