Summary:
"A groundbreaking new analysis of the
making
of
modernity
, sexuality and
race
. If
race
is increasingly understood to be socially constructed, why does it continue to seem like a physiological reality? The trickery of
race
, Sita Balani argues, comes down to how it is embedded in everyday life through the domain we take to be most intimate and sexuality.
Modernity
inaugurates a new political subject made legible as an individual through the nuclear family,
sexual
adventure and the pursuit of romantic love. By examining the regulation of
sexual
life at Britain's borders, in colonial India, and through the functioning of the welfare state, marriage laws, education, and counterterrorism, Balani reveals that sexuality has become fatally intertwined with the
making
of
race
