{"product_id":"9781978712713","title":"Black Flesh Matters : Essays on Runagate Interpretation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese essays, written over more than thirty years of Vincent L. Wimbush's career as a scholar, provide a response to the nearly universal, persistent, and sedimented modern-world hyper-signification of Black flesh, always needing to be framed, humiliated, policed, and dirtied. Because Wimbush is a scholar of religion as culture—having to do with social practices and their psycho-politics as regimes of knowledge, discourse, formation, and power relations—his ex-centric transdisciplinary interest in scriptures has been viewed, in some circles, as controversial. Yet it is Wimbush's linkage of the modern hyper-signification of Black flesh—leading to racialization and racism, especially anti-Black racism—to the scriptural as shorthand for discourse and relations of power that makes this work compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books\/Fortress Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49235255787747,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781978712713-1.jpg?v=1788424525","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781978712713","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
