Embodied Power

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality, this book examines how state practices and modern science shape societal hierarchies. Using the U.S. as a case study, it analyzes laws and policies related to civil rights, education, housing, and policing, revealing how they create invisible structures that affect the life prospects of individuals based on their racial and ethnic identities. The author sheds light on the political origins of these constructs, challenging the notion of them as natural characteristics.
