Kelsky does not deny that human relationships are the product of individual desires and preferences but she is primarily concerned with those supra-individual discursive formations that inescapably position white men and Japanese women in a specific economy of desire that works to disadvantage white women and Japanese men. As Kelsky points out, her purpose 'is not to cast aspersions on Japanese female—white male couples', rather she is concerned to point out the dangers in 'the endlessly repeated feedback loop' that occurs when 'representations of interracial romance as a symbol of redemptive pluralism and solution to the problem of Japanese sexism and insularity are recirculated back to Japan'
If this is true, then I hope this book becomes a bestseller.

But.... ahem. "Liberal minority feminists" does NOT equal "WM c*cksuckers," thank you very much. Just coz the ones that come up in articles posted to MM are married to WMs (they're more "acceptable" in the publishing world since people in IR's obviously can't be "reverse racists" (psha)) doesn't mean all LMF's are AFs married to WMs. All of the Liberal Asian Feminists I know in Illinois are married/going out/looking for AMs. |
