TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Feeling in the Dark: Empathy, Whiteness, and Miscege‐nation in Monster's Ball JO - Hypatia A1 - Rowe, Aimee Carrillo SP - 122 EP - 142 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - Carrillo Rowe provides an analysis of Monster's Ball as a cultural narrative of white masculinity's redemption from the atrocities of racism through an interracial love story that erases white masculinity's national history and implication in a racist past while it displaces the black female body from that history and identification with the struggle for reparation. The nexus of sex, race, and desire is used to produce a new whiteness consistent with the emerging national multicultural logics of color blindness by undermining the narrative, memory, identity, and racing of bodies grounding the logic of reparation.
