Feminist scholars define rape culture as an environment that is conducive to the occurrence of rape, due to an acceptance of sexual objectification, double standards, strict adherence to traditional gender norms, and victim blaming. They argue rape culture as a definitive feature of US society. The structural forces of racism and classism, negatively impact urban areas, increasing the likelihood of violence. This includes the spectrum of sexual violence. While community centers are regarded as key social resources that help urban youth navigate the social landscape of violence, little has been said about how they respond to rape culture in particular. Employing ethnographic methods, this dissertation investigated a summer camp within a community center in the Bronx, and the everyday ways that five women of color (18-26) taught a public pedagogy of gender and sexuality. Nine weeks were spent observing women in the field; in a one year-follow up, additional interviews and observations were made outside the camp setting. Supplemental data were collected from women of color in various community centers in urban areas. This study found that given the othermother/othersister relationships that the women developed with their teen campers, they were able to detect sexual activity and trauma. In turn, they employed a public pedagogy, which offered lessons of `passive protection' and `active preparation.' This study offers implications for training and programming regarding the resistance of rape culture, and policy and legislation to regulate it within community centers.

Full textThe aim of this work is to analyze how lesbian relationships are portrayed in the fictional works Loving Her and The Color Purple. By analyzing the relationships between men/women and women/women depicted in the chosen literary works, this study also revises and criticizes the triple strike suffered by black lesbians for being females, African-Americans and homosexuals. Using historical facts to place the fictional works in a social frame, and using the theory of lesbian continuum to attest the richness and diversity of women bonding, this work demystifies the simplistic notions of African-American lesbian literature, casting away the shadow upon the unspeakable and elevating black women, lesbians or not, to their rightful place in society

This research aims to contribute to an understanding of the meaning of sexuality for young black women and is based on constructionism in social psychology within an analysis of discursive practices. A literature review of theses and dissertations was carried out in the first stage, in order to examine the relevant discourse on the area studied. A strategic methodological choice was made to use three focus groups of young women who identified themselves as black and had contact with the Casa da Juventude Pe. Burnier (Father Burnier Youth Center), located in the municipality of Goiânia. During the first focus group the research aims were presented, the participants were introduced to one another, and expectations were raised about participating in a research project on the themes of sexuality and race. During the second focus group, a discussion was first held on various issues identified by the participants about what they had heard about the sexuality of black women, and in order to feed the debate, participants then heard themes taken from various theses and dissertations so that they could express their opinions about them as well. The third focus group discussed themes identified during the second focus group. An analysis was made using dialogue lists that allowed for aggregating various themes discussed under two main areas: a) The black woman as a sexual object: a perspective based on race and b) The black woman and sexuality: a question of race or gender? Through these two areas it was possible to identify the various meanings of sexuality as they intersected with ideas put forth by institutions such as the church, media and family. The participants demonstrated at the same time a desire to fully experience their sexuality without being bound to these institutions and apprehension about not adhering to the rules inherent in these three institutions. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the unfamiliarity of terms that serve to reinforce pejorative ideas about the sexuality of black women, opening the possibility of building new discourses
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo entender os sentidos de sexualidade para jovens mulheres negras, apoiando-se, para tal, na perspectiva construcionista da Psicologia Social voltada à análise de práticas discursivas. Em um primeiro momento, foi realizada a busca de repertórios sobre o tema em Teses e Dissertações, um dos espaços em que circulam os discursos sobre o assunto pesquisado. Como estratégia metodológica foram realizados três grupos focais dos quais participaram jovens que se auto-identificavam como negras e tinham algum tipo de contato com a Casa da Juventude Pe. Burnier, situada no município de Goiânia. O primeiro grupo foi um momento para apresentação da pesquisa, das participantes, bem como do levantamento de expectativas sobre participar de uma pesquisa que abordasse o tema sexualidade e raça. O segundo grupo teve como discussão inicial os elementos trazidos pelas interlocutoras sobre o que ouviram falar acerca da sexualidade da mulher negra e, para instigar o debate, foram acrescentadas frases oriundas das Teses e Dissertações, para que as participantes também expusessem as suas opiniões a respeito. O terceiro grupo consistiu na retomada dos temas levantados no segundo encontro. A análise foi realizada utilizando mapas dialógicos que possibilitaram agregar vários temas abordados em dois conjuntos: a. A mulher negra como objeto sexual: olhar a partir das nomeações relativas à raça e b. Mulher negra e sexualidade: uma questão de raça ou de gênero? Dessa maneira foi possível identificar os diversos sentidos sobre sexualidade que estavam atravessados por noções disseminadas pelas instituições Igreja, Mídia e Família. As interlocutoras demonstraram, ao mesmo tempo, um desejo de vivenciar sua sexualidade sem as amarras de tais instituições e receios de burlar as regras instituídas nesses espaços. Espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir para a desfamiliarização de termos que contribuem para reificar idéias pejorativas acerca da sexualidade da mulher negra, abrindo a possibilidade da construção de novos discursos

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how two Black women, born 1946 to 1964, discuss their sexuality in relation to their understanding of spirituality and informal learning. Using the Black Feminine Narrative Inquiry framework informed by womanism, Black feminism, and narrative structures used by Black women novelists, this qualitative study analyzed the vulnerable, empowered, and spirit-driven narratives (VES Narratives) collected from the participants to explore their experiences with spirituality, sexuality, and informal learning. The data collection methods included wisdom whisper talks to elicit spirituality and sexuality timelines and glean information from the participants’ treasure chests.
