[Gabe Riggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my top 5 recommended books, this short read is perhaps the best analysis of the modern body as a scientific creation that was produced out of white understandings of sex and sexual differences between black and white bodies. Truly amazing, a must read for anyone interested in understanding how believing in gender as a normative constant intrinsically ties you to a history of white supremacy.

You know when you can't tell if something's over your head or just really obtuse? A couple sections gave me that feeling.
