Assignment 09

Roderick Ferguson characterizes the relationship between property, capital, and prostitution. Starting off by explaining, prostitutes race, gender, and class status go hand in hand, and they tend to be excluded by the “American people”. In this case culture is associated with liberal capitalist, social and economic formations, and how gender and sexual varieties relating to African Americans is part of the capitalist production.African Americans are placed outside of the “norm” as well as prostitutes because they are looked down upon due to the way they form their income. This idea of “queers of color” which is associate with people of color are rejected because of their race, gender, and sexuality all together and this affects what makes up the liberal capitalism. Due to their label this causes the discrimination and poverty against them, and it gives a distinct example on the specific group of people affected.Liberal capitalist restrain the diversity of of state and capitalist developments and queer of color analysis encourages unexpected relationships “queer of color analysis presumes that liberal ideology occludes the intersecting salience of race, gender, sexuality, and class in forming social practices” ( Ferguson,4). So, this queer of color analysis has to negate the ideas that race, class, gender, and sexuality are individual organizations, it has to challenge detachment with the idea that racial and national organizations are actually disconnected in African American culture. Capital has a say so in whats considered normal and what isn’t, and societies follow these ideas because this theory draws attention to social reforms and the author uses the idea of the “Black drag queen prostitute” to show a community who is constantly judged by their race, sex, as well as gender and these issues stem from the detachment which feeds into affected the workforce as well, the author wants to make it clear that we have to really analyze these issues to get a better understanding of why these issues take place.
