Black sexual politics : African Americans, gender, and the new racism / by Hill Collins, Patricia.(CARDINAL)781678;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 353-365) and index.Introduction: no turning back -- I. African Americans and the new racism -- Why black sexual politics? -- The past is ever present: recognizing the new racism -- Prisons for our bodies, closets for our minds: racism, heterosexism, and black sexuality -- II. Rethinking black gender ideology -- Get your freak on: sex, babies, and images of black femininity -- Booty call: sex, violence, and images of black masculinity -- Very necessary: redefining black gender ideology -- III. Toward a progressive black sexual politics -- Assume the position: the changing contours of sexual violence -- No storybook romance: how race and gender matter -- Why we can't wait: black sexual politics and the challenge of HIV/AIDS -- Afterword: the power of a free mind.Publisher's description: In Black Sexual Politics, one of America's most influential writers on race and gender explores how images of Black sexuality have been used to maintain the color line and how they threaten to spread a new brand of racism around the world today. The ideal of pure white womanhood, Collins argues, required the invention of hot-blooded Latinas, exotic Suzy Wongs, and wanton jezebels -- images that persist in the media today in everything from animal-skin bikinis to the creation of the "welfare mom." Men confront a similar bias in a society that defines African American males as drug dealers, brutish athletes, irresponsible fathers, and rapists. Collins dissects the widespread impact of these distorted messages as she explores African American love relationships, sex in youth culture, interracial romance, sexual violence, and HIV/AIDS.

Gender and sexuality in indigenous North America, 1400-1850 / by Slater, Sandy,editor.; Yarbrough, Fay A.,editor.(CARDINAL)486725;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-192) and index.Subverting gender roles in the sixteenth century : Cabeza de Vaca, the conquistador who became a Native American woman / M. Carmen Gomez-Galisteo -- "Nought but women" : constructions of masculinities and modes of emasculation in the New World / Sandra Slater -- Revisiting gender in Iroquoia / Jan V.

Carpenter -- Two-spirit histories in Southwestern and Mesoamerican literatures / Gabriel S. Estrada.Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the New World, Native Americans across the continent had developed richly complex attitudes and forms of expression concerning gender and sexual roles. The role of the "berdache," a man living as a woman or a woman living as a man in native societies, has received recent scholarly attention but represents just one of many such occurrences of alternative gender identification in these cultures. Editors Sandra Slater and Fay A. Yarbrough have brought together scholars who explore the historical implications of these variations in the meanings of gender, sexuality, and marriage among indigenous communities in North America. Essays that span from the colonial period through the nineteenth century illustrate how these aspects of Native American life were altered through interactions with Europeans. Organized chronologically, Gender and Sexuality in Indigenous North America, 1400-1850 probes gender identification, labor roles, and political authority within Native American societies. The essays are linked by overarching examinations of how Europeans manipulated native ideas about gender for their own ends and how indigenous people responded to European attempts to impose gendered cultural practices at odds with established traditions. Many of the essays also address how indigenous people made meaning of gender and how these meanings developed over time within their own communities. Several contributors also consider sexual practice as a mode of cultural articulation, as well as a vehicle for the expression of gender roles. Representing groundbreaking scholarship in the field of Native American studies, these insightful discussions of gender, sexuality, and identity advance our understanding of cultural traditions and clashes that continue to resonate in native communities today as well as in the larger societies those communities exist within.
