About this work
Description
This book explores the sensorial and phenomenological materiality of race as it is felt and sensed by racialized subjects. Situating the body as an active, affective, and sensing participant in racialized realities, they argue that race is not simply marked on our bodies, but felt and registered through our senses. Grounded in the authors' own experiences - one as a Japanese woman living in the United States, the other as an African American man from Chicago - this is a book about how we feel the racialized world into being.
