This course examines the ways in which race, gender, and class have shaped the experiences of people of African descent. It explores how the concept of sexuality offers a unique lens for rethinking both historical and contemporary discussions on the formation of Black identity and personhood, while being particularly attentive to a queer archive. By prioritizing Blackness, the course critically engages with the interconnections between race, gender, and sexuality, aiming to separate whiteness from LGBTQ+ studies and heterosexuality from Black studies.
