Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity
by C. Riley Snorton
Sponsored by the Arcila Adams Trans Resource Center and the John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives and Library
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.
