Description
Transgender and Race in an Age of Unsettled Identities by Rogers Brubaker explores how gender and race have become more fluid and open to change. The author examines the intersection of these two concepts, using the example of Rachel Dolezal's claim to be black as a starting point. This book delves into the ways in which racial categories are becoming less fixed, mirroring the shift in attitudes towards gender identity. Brubaker argues that while sex has a biological basis, choosing or changing one's sex is more widely accepted than choosing or changing one's race. He suggests that this shift can be seen in the blurring of ethnoracial boundaries and the increasing fluidity of racial identities. By rethinking race through the lens of transgender experience, Brubaker sheds new light on the malleability and contingency of racial categories. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of identity at a critical time when gender and race are being reimagined and reconstructed.
