Black on Both Sides by C. Riley Snorton
Uncovering the overlapping histories of blackness and trans identity from the nineteenth century to the present dayIn 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.
