The Gloria Wekker Reader compiles articles, essays, interviews, poems, and letters by the Afro-Surinamese Dutch theorist and activist, Gloria Wekker. Wekker is a preeminent scholar in feminist Black diaspora studies, especially known for her developments in epistemology and methodology, conceptualizations of sexuality, and mapping of the connections between race, gender, and empire. These writings demonstrate Wekker’s theoretical and political prowess, illuminating how her scholarship was foundational in shifting the fields of anthropology, feminist and queer studies, and Black diasporic studies. Featuring a foreword by Angela Y. Davis, engaging with The Gloria Wekker Reader is an invitation for interdisciplinary and intergenerational dialogue to inspire political action.
"This impressive collection of Gloria Wekker’s work is essential reading for scholars and activists who want to strengthen their understanding of the complex ways in which the cauldrons of colonialism and the slave trade ignited forces responsible for capitalism and for the accompanying and equally tenacious structures of racism."—Angela Y. Davis, from the foreword
"If you’re new to Gloria Wekker’s work, as I was, this volume of interviews, essays, letters, and more will be an excellent introduction to the Afro-Surinamese Dutch theorist and activist."—Karla J. Strand, Ms. Magazine
