Publisher's Synopsis
Considers how the black body is read polysemically in terms of social and political contexts and issues of power. It critically examines the intersections of race, gender, body politics, representation in popular culture and media, aesthetics, policing and disciplining, and resistance. Through its examination of these and related issues, this contributes to a dialogue across various disciplines about the black body, its meanings and negotiations as read, interpreted, and imagined in different frames of perception.
