Series Statement:
Studies in feminist philosophy
Content:
While gender and race often are considered socially constructed, this book argues that they are physiologically constituted through the biopsychosocial effects of sexism and racism. Examining a complex tangle of affects, emotions, knowledge, and privilege, the book develops an understanding of the human body whose unconscious habits are biological. On this account, affect and emotion are thoroughly somatic, not something 'mental' or extra-biological, layered on top of the body. They also are interpersonal, social, and can be transactionally transmitted between people
