Douglass contends that the sexual violability of slaves is often misappropriated by frameworks on sexual violence that privilege its occurrence as a question of ethics, sexual agency, and feminine orders of gendering. Rather, this book foregrounds Blackness as engendered by sexual violence, which forcefully (re)produces Blackness, corporeally and conceptually, as a condition that lacks the capacity to ontologically distinguish its suffering from what it means to be human. By employing and critically revising Black feminist theory and Afro-pessimism, Douglass reveals that engaging primarily with the sexualization of the slave forces theories of sexual violence to interrogate why this violence—one of the most prevalent under slavery—continues to lack a grammar of fundamentWorkshops?: 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM8/22 History of Self-Managed Abortion with Cotton Root CollectiveInfo: This workshop is for those curious about the different histories of self-managed abortions across different cultures. ?: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM8/22 Harm Reductive Solutions for the Marginalized Sex WorkerInfo: This workshop is for sex workers and their communities on ways that folks can do harm reduction under more punitive circumstances.?: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM8/23 Mapping Wellness Practices Under FascismHost: Zaakiyah BriskerInfo: Wellness practices should not have to be a barrier if we are naming the need for "self-care".Vendors?: 12:00 PM - 07:00 PMDay OneInfo: Another World Press, Debra Martin-Barber Art, Eli Chevalier, Mimisquared, Onyx 420, Power Cup, Rad Gworl Print Shoppe, Tattoos by Joshua Alexander, The Sacred Elements Shop, Third World Solidarity Fund, World Stage Press, 7th Street Collective?: 12:00 PM - 07:00 PMDay TwoInfo: Debra Martin-Barber Art, Eli Chevalier, Growceries Market, ITS-IN-SCOPE, Mimisquared, Power Cup, Tattoos by Joshua Alexander, Two Hommes, World Stage Press, 7th Street Collective
