520 8  The story of Christine Jorgensen, Americas first prominent
       transsexual, famously narrated trans embodiment in the 
       postwar era. Her celebrity, however, has obscured other 
       mid-century trans narratives-ones lived by African 
       Americans such as Lucy Hicks Anderson and James McHarris. 
       Their erasure from trans history masks the profound ways 
       race has figured prominently in the construction and 
       representation of transgender subjects. C. Riley Snorton 
       identifies multiple intersections between blackness and 
       transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day 
       anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence. 
       Drawing on a deep and varied archive of materials--early 
       sexological texts, fugitive slave narratives, Afro-
       modernist literature, sensationalist journalism, Hollywood
       films--Snorton attends to how slavery and the production 
       of racialized gender provided the foundations for an 
       understanding of gender as mutable. In tracing the twinned
       genealogies of blackness and transness, Snorton follows 
       multiple trajectories, from the medical experiments 
       conducted on enslaved black women by J. Marion Sims, the 
       father of American gynecology, to the negation of 
       blackness that makes transnormativity possible. Revealing 
       instances of personal sovereignty among blacks living in 
       the antebellum North that were mapped in terms of cross 
       dressing and canonical black literary works that express 
       black mens access to the female within, he concludes with 
       a reading of the fate of Phillip DeVine, who was murdered 
       alongside Brandon Teena in 1993, a fact omitted from the 
       film Boys Don't Cry out of narrative convenience.
