- More about Black, Quare, and Then to Where: Theories of Justice and Black Sexual Ethics
Black,Quare,and Then to Where examines the relationship between Afrodiasporic theories of justice and Black sexual ethics through a womanist engagement with Maât, the ancient Egyptian deity of justice and truth. It argues that Maât should serve as a foundation for reconfiguring Black sexual ethics and draws on Pan-Africanism to explore the work of Alice Walker, E. Patrick Johnson, Cheikh Anta Diop, Sylvia Wynter, Sun Ra, and others.

In her groundbreaking work, "In Black, Quare, and Then to Where," Jennifer Susanne Leath delves into the intricate interplay between Afrodiasporic theories of justice and Black sexual ethics, employing a womanist approach to engage with the ancient Egyptian deity Maât. Maât, renowned for her wisdom and fairness, considered the multifaceted aspects of human existence, encompassing politics, race, gender, and sexuality. Leath argues that Maât should serve as a guiding principle for reimagining Black sexual ethics, drawing upon ancient Egyptian moral codes to expand the boundaries of relationships and democratic practices. By integrating Pan-Africanism, she explores the profound insights of influential thinkers such as Alice Walker, E. Patrick Johnson, Cheikh Anta Diop, Sylvia Wynter, Sun Ra, and others. Through their collective works, Leath demonstrates how these thinkers and traditions enrich the understanding and application of Maâtian justice in the context of Black sexual experiences. As a moral force, Leath contends that Maât offers a transformative lens for mapping ethical frameworks that can help us comprehend, redefine, and envision justices in the United States. This thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of justice, sexuality, and cultural heritage sheds light on the urgent need for a more inclusive and equitable society.
