Ferguson Reveals How The Discourses Of Sexuality Are Used To Articulate Theories Of Racial Difference In The Field Of Sociology. He Shows How Canonical Sociologygunnar Myrdal, Ernest Burgess, Robert Park, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, And William Julius Wilsonhas Measured African Americanss Unsuitability For A Liberal Capitalist Order In Terms Of Their Adherence To The Norms Of A Heterosexual And Patriarchal Nuclear Family Model. In Short, To The Extent That African Americanss Culture And Behavior Deviated From Those Norms, They Would Not Achieve Economic And Racial Equality.Aberrations In Black Tells The Story Of Canonical Sociologys Regulation Of Sexual Difference As Part Of Its General Regulation Of African American Culture. Ferguson Places This Story Within Other Storiesthe Narrative Of Capitals Emergence And Development, The Histories Of Marxism And Revolutionary Nationalism, And The Novels That Depict The Gendered And Sexual Idiosyncrasies Of African American Cultureworks By Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, And Toni Morrison. In Turn, This Book Tries To Present Another Storyone In Which People Who Presumably Manifest The Dysfunctions Of Capitalism Are Reconsidered As Indictments Of The Norms Of State, Capital, And Social Science.
