Family Bonds: Genealogies of Race and Gender - Studies in Feminist Philosophy
Feder, Ellen K. (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, American University, Washington, DC, United States)
Ellen Feder's monograph is an attempt to think about the categories of race and gender together. She explains and then employs some critical tools derived from Foucault (particularly his ideas about systems of knowledge and the power that governs them), in order to advance her main argument: that the institution of the family is the locus of the production of gender and race, and that gender is best understood as a function of a "disciplinary" power that operateswithin the family, while race is the function of a "regulatory" power acting upon the family from outside. Her interdisciplinary work will be of interest to feminist philosophers and theorists because it plays into a recent expansion of interest in the family, as well as to literary scholars ofFoucault, to scholars of race and race theory, and to other feminist scholars in political science, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies.
