Description
The revolutionary act of imprinting gender into Caribbean thought is celebrated by Patricia Mohammed as she brings together decades worth of critical published and unpublished essays that have influenced directions in feminism and in social thinking. A primary player in an ever evolving Caribbean gender discourse for over four decades, Mohammed has produced an interdisciplinary manifesto that establishes founding moments and ongoing debates in gender and feminist theory; she marks out thematic shifts in academia and activism, including the area of masculinity, that inform feminist political strategy in the region. The essays move between historical, biographical, popular culture and a visual lens, revealing an intersectional analysis that is central to understanding of this region and to the current global condition. In the face of narratives that cast shadows on the value of evolutionary progress, this book encourages us to take pause and recognize how far gender scholars and feminists have come in leaving the world more gender equitable than we found it.

Reviews
1. This marvelous book demonstrates the power of revisiting and rethinking past work and its importance for all of us who struggle with new and old thoughts as we continue contributing to future gender scholarship, debate and policy-making.

Massachusetts Boston
2. Patricia Mohammed takes us on a journey of exploration whose compass is feminist thought, and whose goal is a better understanding of the centrality of gender roles and relations in Caribbean society. Interdisciplinary perspectives, from history to sociology to art criticism, intersect in these essays, and diverse sources of inspiration, from song to film to oral traditions, inspire Mohammed’s analyses of gender politics and the imaginaries that represent them. This assemblage offers us an important and exciting intellectual history by one of the region’s foremost scholar-activists.
Aisha Khan, Professor of Anthropology, New York University
