February book club “Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity”

February 22, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST

In “Black on Both Sides,” C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence. Drawing on a deep and varied archive of materials, Snorton attends to how slavery and the production of racialized gender provided the foundations for an understanding of gender as mutable.
