Delany, Extravagant Abjection asks: If we're racialized through domination and abjection, what is the political, personal, and psychological potential in racialization-through-abjection? Using the figure of male rape as a lens through which to examine this question, Scott argues that blackness in relation to abjection endows its inheritors with a form of counter-intuitive power-indeed, what can be thought of as a revised notion of black power. This power is found at the point at which ego, identity, body, race, and nation seem to reveal themselves as utterly penetrated and compromised, without defensible boundary. Yet in Extravagant Abjection, "power" assumes an unexpected and paradoxical form.In arguing that blackness endows its inheritors with a surprising form of counter-intuitive power-as a resource for the political present-found at the very point of violation, Extravagant Abjection enriches our understanding of the construction of black male identity. 001480246 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480246 546__ $$aIn English. 001480246 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 29.
