Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique

In this brilliant book, Rod Ferguson interrogates canonical sociologys' regulation of sexual difference as part of its pathologization of African American culture. Sophisticated in its critiques of race, gender, and sexuality within analyses of cultural, economic,and epistemological formations, this book breaks new ground in sociology, American studies, queer theory, and women of color feminism. Great for graduate and undergraduate courses on the problematic history of the discipline of sociology as well as courses on sexuality and queer theory.
