The editors of this collection focus on what it is that creates the slippage between the pornographic and the scientific. In particular, they attend to the importance of race within the colonially created and maintained worlds of both research—ethnography in particular—and pornographyPPN: PPN: 1778461530Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
