Irvine demonstrates how the social scientists who told the stories of these marginalized groups represented an early challenge to then-dominant narratives of scientific racism, prefiguring the academic fields of gender, ethnic, sexuality, and queer studies in key ways. In recounting the social histories of certain American outsiders, Irvine identifies an American paradox by which social differences are both despised and desired, and she describes the rise of an outsider capitalism that integrates difference into American society by marketing it. 2022-06-21T09:51:24Z 2022-06-21T09:51:24Z 2022 book 9780472055388 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/57065 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780472902651.pdf https://www.bibliovault.org/thumbs/978-0-472-90265-1-highres.jpg; https://www.bibliovault.org/thumbs/978-0-472-90265-1-frontcover.jpg; https://www.bibliovault.org/thumbs/978-0-472-90265-1-thumb.jpg University of Michigan Press 10.3998/mpub.11519906 10.3998/mpub.11519906 e07ce9b5-7a46-4096-8f0c-bc1920e3d889 9780472055388 348 open access
