Description

Embodied Power explores dimensions of politics seldom studied, illuminating state practices that produce hierarchically-organized groups through racialized gendering and tracing how modern science and law produce race, gender, and sexuality as natural characteristics, masking their political genesis. Taking the U.S. as a case study, Hawkesworth demonstrates how diverse laws and policies concerning civil and political rights, education, housing, and welfare, immigration and securitization, policing and criminal justice create well-honed and invisible hierarchies of difference that structure the life prospects of men and women of particular races and ethnicities within and across borders.
