Seeing Beauty, Sensing Race in Transnational Indonesia

By L. Ayu Saraswati

Book Overview

The book offers a rich repertoire of analytical and theoretical tools that allow readers to rethink issues of race and gender in a global context and understand how feelings and emotions contribute to and are constitutive of transnational and gendered processes of racialization. Saraswati's ground-breaking work is a nuanced theoretical exploration of the ways in which representations of beauty and the emotions they embody travel geographically and help shape attitudes and beliefs toward race and gender in a transnational world.
