| Sumario: | This book examines the dynamics of racial anger in global late capitalism, bringing into conversation work on political anger in ethnic, postcolonial, and cultural studies with studies on emotion in cognitive studies. The author uses a variety of literary and media texts to show how narratives serve as a means of reflecting on experiences of anger and also how we think about anger - its triggers, its deeper causes, its wrongness or rightness. The narratives she studies include the film Crash, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions and The Book of Not, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's Devil on the Cross and Wizard of the Crow, and the HBO series The Wire. The author concludes by distinguishing frustration and outrage from anger through a consideration of Stephane Hessel's call to arms, Indignez-vous! One of the few works that focuses on both anger and race, this book demonstrates that race - including whiteness - is central to our conceptions and experiences of anger. -- Publisher's description. |
