Entangled Otherness - Cross-Gender Fabrications in the Francophone Caribbean

Entangled Otherness explores the dynamics of cross-dressing and gender performance in contemporary Francophone Caribbean cultures. Through examination of archival texts, artistic works and oral histories the author reveals how strategies of crossing, mimicry and masquerade have enabled resistance to the racialised, gendered and patriarchal classifications of bodies that characterized Enlightenment thought during the French transatlantic slave trade.
