Defiant Bodies: New Research in Caribbean Sexualities

About the Event This event takes up queer subjectivity and resistances in the Caribbean, with a focus on LGBTQ+ women, through the launch and discussion of new and forthcoming books by Dr. Nikoli Attai, Defiant Bodies: Making Queer Community in the Anglophone Caribbean, and Dr. Preity Kumar, An Ordinary Landscape of Violence: Women Loving Women in Guyana (tentative title). Central are questions about the conceptualization of queerness outside of a global north or western framework, how violence is resisted, and how we can embrace gendered and sexual diversity in our imaginings of the Caribbean.
