| Tóm tắt: | This book examines the nature of these
identities. Georgia Warnke aruges that identities, in general, are interpretations
and, as such, have more in common with textual understanding than we commonly
acknowledge. A racial, sexed, or gendered understanding of who we and others are
is neither exhaustive of the ‘‘meanings’’ we can be said to have, nor uniquely
correct. We are neither always, nor only, black or white, men or women, or males or
females. Rather, all identities have a restricted scope and can lead to injustices
and contradictions when they are employed beyond that scope. In concluding her
argument, Warnke considers the legal and policy implications that follow for
affirmative action, childbearing leave, the position of gays in the military, and
marriage between same-sex partners. |
