Gender, sexual citizenship and epistemic injustice in the Caribbean[electronic resource] /by Charmaine Crawford. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xi, 149 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Sexual Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion -- Chapter 3. Epistemic Injustice, Social Inequality and LGBTQ Realities -- Chapter 4. The Precarity of Sexual Citizenship: Hermeneutical Injustice, the Law and LGBTQ Rights -- Chapter 5. "It's a Girl Thing" Problematizing Female Sexuality, Gender, and Lesbophobia in Caribbean Culture -- Chapter 6. Decolonising and Queering Caribbean Families.

This book interrogates the relationship between gender, sexual citizenship and epistemic injustice as it relates to the experiences of LGBTQ persons in the Commonwealth Caribbean. Whether it is the recognition of gender/sexual identities, sexual freedom, bodily autonomy, marriage or creating a family, sexual citizenship encompasses different aspects of our intimate lives that have erotic, social, and economic value that are organised and legitimised through the family, religion, law, state, family, and civil society. Employing decolonial feminist queer perspectives, this book considers how race, gender, and sexuality intersect through matrices of power in shaping intimate life in giving more rights and freedoms to some over others. While Caribbean sexualities are rich and diverse, there still exists dominant colonial and post-colonial heteropatriarchal ideologies and practices that infringe on the sexual rights of Caribbean LGBTQ persons normalising discriminatory treatment (homophobia, lesbophobia and transphobia) against them. Despite efforts to silence Caribbean LGBTQ persons, they have politicised their cause by engaging in epistemic resistance. Caribbean LGBTQ activism encompasses a myriad of social justice efforts, incorporating intersectional politics with feminists and other groups, which validate queer identities, knowledges and lives in the region and diaspora. This book showcases how Caribbean LGBTQ activists are using strategic litigation anchored in social justice hermeneutics to upend vagrancy and anti-buggery laws, which has led to successful decriminalisation cases in the region. This book will interest researchers and students in women's, gender, and sexuality studies and Caribbean studies. Charmaine Crawford, PhD is an associate professor in Africana Studies at Kent State University, USA. She specializes in gender and sexuality in the African Diaspora and Caribbean women, domestic work and transnational motherhood. Dr Crawford formerly taught at the Institute of Gender and Development Studies: Nita Barrow Unit at The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados. Dr Crawford is the author of Unbearable Knowledge: Sexual Citizenship, Homophobia and the Taxonomy of Ignorance in the Caribbean, and Decolonizing Reproductive Labour: Caribbean Women, Migration and Domestic Work in the Global Economy.
