David L Eng

Racial Castration

Managing Masculinity in Asian America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"With consummate lucidity and analytical skill, David Eng demonstrates how intimately related are Asian American identity and generic U.S. nationality--and how central to both are the contestations of masculine subjectivity. A powerful contribution to Americanist and transnational studies, "Racial Castration" more generally demonstrates the potential of psychoanalytic theory as an element in rigorous social critique."--Phillip Brian Harper, New York University
