Yet even as their bodies and sexualities have been the subject of countless public discourses, black women's voices have been largely marginalized in these discussions. In this groundbreaking collection, feminist scholars from across the academy come together to correct this omission-illuminating black female sexual desires marked by agency and empowerment, as well as pleasure and pain, to reveal the ways black women regulate their sexual lives. The twelve original essays in Black Female Sexualities reveal the diverse ways black women perceive, experience, and represent sexuality. The contributors highlight the range of tactics that black women use to express their sexual desires and identities. Yet they do not shy away from exploring the complex ways in which black women negotiate the more traumatic aspects of sexuality and grapple with the legacy of negative stereotypes. Black Female Sexualities takes not only an interdisciplinary approach-drawing from critical race theory, sociology, and performance studies-but also an intergenerational one, in conversation with the foremothers of black feminist studies. In addition, it explores a diverse archive of representations, covering everything from blues to hip-hop, from Crash to Precious, from Sister Souljah to Edwidge Danticat. Revealing that black female sexuality is anything but a black-and-white issue, this collection demonstrates how to appreciate a whole spectrum of subjectivities, experiences, and desires. 606 $aAfrican American women$xSexual behavior 606 $aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions 606 $aSex role 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aFeminism 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSexual behavior. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSex role. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aFeminism. 676 $a305.48/896073 702 $aMelancon$b Trimiko$f1977- 702 $aBraxton$b Joanne M. 702 $aHarris-Perry$b Melissa V$g(Melissa Victoria),$f1973- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810713503321 996 $aBlack female sexualities$94026846 997 $aUNINA
