This Is How You Become the Animal You Are So Bent on Becoming
Taking Andil Gosine's invitation in Nature's Wild: Love, Sex, and Law in the Caribbean (2021) to consider the possibilities of animality, this essay sits with the two valences that are potentially inherent in his framing-first, that we reassess the generative possibilities of animality, and second, that we consider how in refusing the demarcating line between humanity and animality they potentially remake each other. Centering "animality" as an a…
Celebrating Fifty Years of Feminist Studies
"In celebration of fifty years since Feminist Studies began publishing, in 1972, we asked a selection of authors to convey what having their work published in Feminist Studies has meant for them, both professionally as well as personally. Following are their responses."
Anything but Reactionary
Feminist conceptualizations of backlash have understandably and appropriately centered on women’s experiences, drawing attention to efforts that would, as Susan Faludi noted in 1991, “retract the handful of small and hard-won victories that the feminist movement did manage to win for women.” In this essay, I reengage the concept to ask what we might learn if our point of departure was informed by the experience of blackness. I suggest that rather…

Feminist Advocacy and Gender Equity in the Anglophone Caribbean
This book uses the Anglophone Caribbean as its site of critique to explore two important questions within development studies. First, to what extent has the United Nations' call to implement gender-mainstreaming projects resulted in the realization of gender equity for women within developing societies? Second, does gender-mainstreaming have the conceptual, operational, and technical capacities to address the centrality of the body in 21st-centur…

Whose Time Is It? Gender and Humanism in Contemporary Caribbean Feminist Advocacy
Why has the category "gender" not figured transformatively in anti-colonial resistance, or nationalist politics in the region? This is a question posed in this forum by literary scholar Natasha Barnes (1991). Despite the centrality that Caribbean feminists have accorded to "gender" in their pursuit of social justice I argue that "gender's" analytical marginalization persists because the philosophical underpinnings of these nationalist/anticolonia…
Rethinking Interdisciplinarity
In this paper I examine Jacqui Alexander's Pedagogies of Crossing in order to consider the interdisciplinary synergies that might be realized through a practice of knowledge production which bridges the metaphysical and the material. While the text encourages us to pursue the Sacred in our various academic and activist locations, I build on this deployment of the Sacred to argue for a feminist pedagogy of the erotic as a form of liberatory politi…
