It also offers critical insight into the ways that queer people negotiate\, resist\, and disrupt homophobia\, transphobia\, and discrimination by mobilizing “on the ground” and creating transgressive communities within the region. \nMore information about the book here \nAbout The Author \nDr. Nikoli Attai is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies\, focusing on Black queer and feminist studies. Alongside his teaching\, he also collaborates with LGBTIQ+ communities in Trinidad and Tobago\, Jamaica\, Barbados and Guyana\, and with members of Toronto’s LGBTIQ+ diaspora communities. In Trinidad and Tobago\, he is currently assisting community archivists and leaders to curate a digital archive of approximately 5000 items collected within their communities over the past thirty years. \nCo-sponsored by the Women & Gender Studies Insitute and the Mark S.
