Slavery systematically influenced both the production and reproduction of race, class and gendered identities. Black women's individual and collective response to this institution and its attempts at dehumanization and destruction highlights the impact of gender, race/color and class on the making of different yet complex patterns of resistance. This course uses a variety of research techniques and analytical approaches to investigate gendered agency. The aim is to "reread" black women's experiences of enslavement and their conscious struggle to carve out identities and a sense of personhood to allow for exploration of gender specific responses to the cultural dynamics of power.
