Black, Quare, and Then to Where

“Shaped by a quare-womanist-vindicationist lens, jennifer susanne leath gives us a vision of justice—both old and new—centered in a deep, complex, and genre-shattering Black sexual ethics that is seething with justices that affirm our being and personhood. This exciting must-read offers us a new and more inclusive vision of a future for all.” - Emilie M. Townes, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter University Distinguished Professor of Womanist Ethics and Society and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Vanderbilt University

“Carving out a new pathway for grappling with the Du Boisian Negro problem and the perennial crisis of American democracy, Black, Quare, and Then to Where offers a creative, compelling, and stunning exploration into how Pan-Africanism and Black nationalism lay the epistemic groundwork for building a new Black sexual ethics. I don’t know of any other womanists, feminists, or ethicists since Black Power who frame justice as broadly as jennifer susanne leath does in this powerful book.” - Terrence L. Johnson, author of We Testify with Our Lives: How Religion Transformed Radical Thought from Black Power to Black Lives Matter

"Black, quare & then to where is a poetic, melodic, and piercing offering. Art lives and breathes in and alongside this slow and deliberate read." - Shatavia Wynn, Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics
