Chapter 6, “The Erotic Life of Chinese Racism,” theorizes Chinese racial formations and anti-Blackness at the scale of the body and personal encounter. Fear of contagion and taboos around interracial intimacies provide some of the clearest examples of anti-Black racism. Shifting to a biopolitical and affective register, it demonstrates how Han Chinese racial nationalism, capitalism, and imperialism are intertwined with heteropatriarchy, the valorization of whiteness, and the denigration of Blackness.
