Appealing Because He Is Appalling: Black Masculinities, Colonialism, and Erotic Racism de Tamari Kitossa

Appealing Because He Is Appalling: Black Masculinities, Colonialism, and Erotic Racism

Editat de Tamari Kitossa
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iun 2021

Adresat în principal cercetătorilor și studenților din sferele sociologiei, studiilor de gen, științelor politice și istoriei, Appealing Because He Is Appalling reprezintă o analiză riguroasă a paradoxurilor care definesc percepția masculinității de culoare în contextul post-colonial. Notăm cu interes modul în care editorul Tamari Kitossa reușește să coordoneze o echipă de contributori care investighează tensiunea dintre atracție și repulsie, demonstrând cum bărbații de culoare sunt simultan obiectificați erotic și expuși violenței sistemice.

Structura volumului este una progresivă, pornind de la baze teoretice solide extrase din opera lui James Baldwin și Frantz Fanon. Prima parte, „Erotic Racism, Tropes, and Interracial Sex”, analizează reprezentările din artă și cinema, oferind studii de caz surprinzătoare, precum discursul despre sexualitatea masculină de culoare în Japonia. A doua parte, „What Does a Black Man Want?”, mută focusul spre trăirea subiectivă, abordând teme precum teologia iubirii de sine și intersecționalitatea dintre rasă și dizabilitate. Această perspectivă globală completează viziunea oferită de Black Sexual Politics de Patricia Hill Collins, adăugând o dimensiune psihanalitică și culturală care depășește granițele politicului pur.

În contextul operei sale anterioare, precum Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy, unde Tamari Kitossa explora experiența de culoare în mediul universitar, acest nou volum extinde aria de investigație către o critică a masculinității occidentale. Găsim în această lucrare o alternativă necesară la studiile de gen tradiționale, integrând perspective transnaționale care lipsesc adesea din analizele monoculturale. Comparativ cu Race and Masculinity in Gay Men’s Pornography de Desmond Francis Goss, care se concentrează pe nișa industriei pornografice, volumul de față oferă un cadru mult mai vast, cuprinzând arta plastică, turismul sexual și dinamica puterii în cadrul interacțiunilor sociale cotidiene.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte practicienilor și studenților care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele rasismului erotic și ale fetișizării. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă interdisciplinară asupra modului în care stereotipurile coloniale continuă să modeleze dorința și identitatea masculină. Este un instrument esențial pentru decodarea reprezentărilor culturale contemporane, oferind soluții teoretice pentru rezistența împotriva obiectificării, fundamentate pe analize psihanalitice și sociologice de profunzime.

Descriere

This collection invites us to think about how African-descended men are seen as both appealing and appalling, and exposed to eroticized hatred and violence and how some resist, accommodate, and capitalize on their eroticization. Drawing on James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon, the contributors examine the contradictions, paradoxes, and politico-psychosexual implications of Black men as objects of sexual desire, fear, and loathing. Kitossa and the contributing authors use Baldwin’s and Fanon’s cultural and psychoanalytic interpretations of Black masculinities to demonstrate their neglected contributions to thinking about and beyond colonialist and Western gender and masculinity studies. This innovative and sophisticated work will be of interest to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, gender and masculinities studies, sociology, political science, history, and critical race and racialization. Foreword by Tommy J. Curry.Contributors: Katerina Deliovsky, Delroy Hall, Dennis O. Howard, Elishma Khokhar, Tamari Kitossa, Kemar McIntosh, Leroy F. Moore Jr., Watufani M. Poe, Satwinder Rehal, John G. Russell, Mohan Siddi

Recenzii

“Appealing Because He Is Appalling engages critically with the work of James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon, exploring various registers of Black masculinity, Black sexuality and anti-Black racism. It is intersectional, reflective of social and political context, varied, and original in its scope.” Eddie Bruce-Jones, Reader in Law & Anthropology, Birkbeck College, University of London
“Appealing Because He Is Appalling engages with sociology, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, social anthropology, and Black studies across several continents. An exceptionally insightful and rigorous anthology, it will appeal to both scholars and activists.” William Henry, Associate Professor, University of West London
“Appealing Because He Is Appalling is an epitome of literary dialectics on the restoration of Black man to his original state in Eden. Undoubtedly, it represents a gigantic refocus and paradigmatic shift from Black male ‘gendercide’ to decolonizing rebirth of Black manhood. It is a literary bible, especially for all institutions engaging in Black gender studies.” Emmanuel Onyeozili, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland Eastern Shore
"Kitossa and the contributing authors have demonstrated a powerful example of reading Black men and boys in generative and restorative ways. Interestingly, Baldwin's and Fanon's cultural and psychoanalytic interpretations of Black masculinities add a profound level of criticality to these essays. I recommend this book for scholars, activists, organizers, and those interested in contemporary developments in Black masculinity studies." Martez Files, Decolonization of Criminology and Justice 4(1), 85-91
"This collection is comprehensive, insightful, theoretical, historical, and riveting in its exposure of the dangers and desires that Black masculinity poses in a global context. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty." C. B. Regester, University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, CHOICE Magazine, May 2022
“The book compiles a handful of excellent pieces that use this foundational framework to explore the representations of black masculinities and the experiences of black men across the globe…. This collection is an exciting contribution to the literature on masculinities. Its interdisciplinary approach illuminates rich avenues for inquiry regarding the representation of masculinity in media and scholarship.” Warren Jensen, Men and Masculinities, 2021
