Both a proclamation and exploration, this course declares and exams Black queer culture, history and politics in the South. The course will employ the geographical place and conceptual space of “the South,” primarily the US South but also making connections to an Afro-diasporic global South, as an entry point for exploring Black queer possibilities—race, class, gender and sexual struggle and resistance from “the bottom.” Furthermore, students will explore and engage the written and artistic form and function of the manifesto as an act of resistance and social change.
