“Shaped by a quare-womanist-vindicationist lens, jennifer susanne leath gives us a vision of justice-both old and new-centered in a deep, complex, and genre-shattering Black sexual ethics that is seething with justices that affirm our being and personhood. This exciting must-read offers us a new and more inclusive vision of a future for all.” - Emilie M. Townes, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter University Distinguished Professor of Womanist Ethics and Society and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Vanderbilt University “Carving out a new pathway for grappling with the Du Boisian Negro problem and the perennial crisis of American democracy, Black, Quare, and Then to Where offers a creative, compelling, and stunning exploration into how Pan-Africanism and Black nationalism lay the epistemic groundwork for building a new Black sexual ethics. I don’t know of any other womanists, feminists, or ethicists since Black Power who frame justice as broadly as jennifer susanne leath does in this powerful book.” - Terrence L. Johnson, author of (We Testify with Our Lives: How Religion Transformed Radical Thought from Black Power to Black Lives Matter)
