Challenging the notion that we have moved into a "post-racial" era, she suggests that we are in an uneasy moment where American public discourse demands that race be seen, but not heard. Analyzing contemporary political speech with nuanced readings of works by such authors as Toni Morrison, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Colson Whitehead, Li investigates how Americans of color have negotiated these tensions, inventing new ways to signal racial affiliations without violating taboos against open discussions of race.American literature21st centuryHistory and criticismRace in literaturePost-racialismUnited StatesPolitics and literatureUnited StatesHistory21st centuryUnited StatesRace relationsAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.Race in literature.Post-racialismPolitics and literatureHistory810.9/3552Li Stephanie1977-1171735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911106287603321Signifying without specifying4728700UNINA03565nam 22008654a 450 991114116790332120251210180441.01-280-87015-X97866108701580-19-153748-91-4294-8711-9(CKB)1000000000476653(EBL)422583(OCoLC)476258150(SSID)ssj0000121728(PQKBManifestationID)11135935(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000121728(PQKBWorkID)10110499(PQKB)10675766(StDuBDS)EDZ0000076251(MiAaPQ)EBC422583(Au-PeEL)EBL422583(CaPaEBR)ebr10177886(CaONFJC)MIL87015(EXLCZ)99100000000047665320051017d2006 uy 0engur|n|||||||||txtccrChoosing children genes, disability, and design /Jonathan GloverFirst edition.Oxford Oxford University Press20061 online resource (120 pages)Uehiro series in practical ethicsDescription based upon print version of record.0-19-171045-8 0-19-929092-X Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-110).Disability and genetic choice -- Parental choice and what we owe to our children -- Human values and genetic design.Genetic and reproductive technology now offers us the possibility of choosing what kinds of children we do and don't have. Should we welcome this power, or should we fear its implications? The renowned moral philosopher and best-selling author Jonathan Glover suggests how we should try to deal with this urgent problem. Surely parents owe it to their children to keep them free from disabilities? But there is a powerful new challenge from people who have these conditions: how do we justify trying to avoid bringing people like them into being? Jonathan Glover also examines the emotive idea of 'euUehiro series in practical ethics.Genes, disability, and designHuman reproductive technologyMoral and ethical aspectsGenetic engineeringMoral and ethical aspectsGenetic disorders in childrenAbnormalities, HumanGenetic aspectsMedical ethicsGenetic counselingReproductive Techniquesethics(DNLM)D012099Q000941Genetic Engineeringethics(DNLM)D005818Q000941Preimplantation Diagnosisethics(DNLM)D019836Q000941Genetic Counseling(DNLM)D005817Ethics, Medical(DNLM)D004992Human reproductive technologyMoral and ethical aspects.Genetic engineeringMoral and ethical aspects.Genetic disorders in children.Abnormalities, HumanGenetic aspects.Medical ethics.Genetic counseling.Reproductive Techniquesethics.Genetic Engineeringethics.Preimplantation Diagnosisethics.Genetic Counseling.Ethics, Medical.618.92/0042Glover Jonathan93665MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911141167903321Choosing children4834162UNINA
