*Repost* Book Talk: Unseen Flesh with Nessette Falu

Dr. Nessette Falu, Assistant Professor, Africa and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, will be discussing her new book, Unseen Flesh: Gynecology and Black Queer Worth-Making in Brazil.

Her book explores how Black lesbians in Brazil define and sustain their well-being and self-worth against persistent racial, sexual, class, and gender-based prejudice. Demonstrating how the racist and heteronormative underpinnings of gynecology erase Black lesbian subjecthood through mental, emotional, and physical traumas, Falu explores the daily resistance and abolitionist practices of worth-making that claim and sustain Black queer identity and living.
