Description
Death Beyond Disavowal: The Impossible Politics of Difference by Grace Kyungwon Hong explores how cultural production can serve as a powerful response to neoliberalism's erasures. Neoliberal ideologies attempt to erase racial, gendered, and sexualized violence and inequity, presenting them as conditions of the past rather than present-day realities. By examining works such as Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, Cherríe Moraga's The Last Generation and Waiting in the Wings, Oscar Zeta Acosta's The Revolt of the Cockroach People, Ana Castillo's So Far from God, Gayl Jones's Corregidora, Isaac Julien's Looking for Langston, Inge Blackman's B. D. Women, Rodney Evans's Brother to Brother, and Barbara Christian's work, Hong posits cultural production as a compelling rejoinder to neoliberalism's violences. Women of color feminism is repositioned as a potent diagnosis and alternative to the violences of neoliberalism, offering a nuanced understanding of the intersections between difference, power, and precarity.
