Podcast appearances and mentions of Jennifer L Morgan

Do we perhaps deserve the impossible? This is only one of the many beautiful questions Marquis Bey asks in this poem of an episode. Marquis is an exquisite thinker who joins me to speak about the incredible book Black Trans Feminism and share thoughts about why such a feminism is for everyone. Marquis speaks about how literature allows us to imagine new possibilities to exist in the world and see how everything is entangled with everything else. Join me to learn from Marquis, to think about abolition, coalition, fugitivity and traniflesh, and to imagine what the world could be beyond the realistic and the possible.  References:https://www.marquisbey.com/Marquis Bey's Black Trans Feminism (Duke UP, 2022)Marquis Bey's Cistem Failure (Duke UP, 2022)Marquis Bey's The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Gender (University of Minnesota Press, 2020)Marquis Bey's “RE: [No Subject]—On Nonbinary Gender.” Qui Parle: Critical Humanities and Social Sciences (2022)Saidiya HartmanAlexis Pauline Gumbs' M Archive and UndrownedLauryn HillDenise Ferreira da SilvaToni MorrisonN.K.

Welcome to New Books in African American Studies, a podcast channel on the New Books Network. I am your host, Adam Xavier McNeil. Today's podcast is special, not because this is the 99th episode of my New Books career, but because I get the chance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Peter H. Wood completing the dissertation version of Black Majority: Negroes in Colonial South Carolina from 1670 Through the Stono Rebellion. In this wide-ranging interview, I discuss the origin story of Peter's work, what happened at Duke University in the 80s and 90s that opened opportunities for the likes of Jennifer L. Morgan, Vincent Brown, and the late great Julius Scott to come through the Durham doors, and where he sees the field of slavery studies going? Enjoy the conversation, family.  Adam McNeil is a Ph.D. Candidate in History at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Learn more about your ad choices.

Halle Ashby, PhD Student in History at the Johns Hopkins University. Ashby is a historian of Caribbean slavery and emancipation, and her research concerns questions about gender, reproduction, and sexuality.

In 2004, Dr. Jennifer L. Morgan's Laboring Women: Reproduction and Gender in New World Slavery (University of Pennsylvania Press) was published. Sixteen years later, Morgan's Laboring Women stands tall as one of the most important historical texts in the history of the academy. Building on Dr. Deborah Gray White's literal field building and seminal 1985 monograph, Ar'n't I A Woman?: Female Slaves in the Plantation South, Laboring Women clearly added to White's tradition, but also helped blaze a trail in her own right. Laboring Women was the first historical text to focus on Black women's reproductive labor under New World slavery in the early modern period. Laboring Women is also critically important to scholarly understandings about African and African American history, reproduction, gender, sexuality, capitalism, and MORE!
