Summary:

"The Gloria Wekker Reader presents a selection of over forty years of sustained scholarship and activism in the form of articles, essays, book chapters, and poetry produced by Afro-Surinamese Dutch theorist Gloria Wekker-charting a complex and multidisciplinary terrain of struggle and thought that spans different eras and geographies. Compiling Wekker's writing in this form invites readers to contemplate the multiple links between different disciplinary fields and regions and provides new ways of seeing and situating Wekker's scholarship as foundational to shifts and turns within anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, and feminist Black diaspora studies. The Gloria Wekker Reader provides a starting point for readers interested in engaging in intersectional and decolonial queer, trans, and feminist scholar-activism across borders. The reader is also an effort to document the rich history of Afropean, Women of Color, and Caribbean Black feminist thought and to inspire intergenerational conversations. Wekker's work is timely as it forges new directions in cultural studies for a range of audiences"-- Provided by publisher.
