[Ladelle McWhorter] Racism and Sexual Oppression in Anglo-America A Genealogy(pdf){Zzzzz}[BЯ] (Size: 6.29 MB)
Description Does the black struggle for civil rights make common cause with the movement to foster queer community, protest anti-queer violence or discrimination, and demand respect for the rights and sensibilities of queer people? Confronting this emotionally charged question, Ladelle McWhorter reveals how a carefully structured campaign against abnormality in the late 19th and early 20th centuries encouraged white Americans to purge society of so-called biological contaminants, people who were poor, disabled, black, or queer. Building on a legacy of savage hate crimes McWhorter shows that racism, sexual oppression, and discrimination against the disabled, the feeble, and the poor are all aspects of the same societal distemper, and that when the civil rights of one group are challenged, so are the rights of all. Product Description Review "A moving and engaged book that is evidently the product of several years of intense research worn effortlessly."
