Byzantine Intersectionality

Sexuality, Gender, and Race in the Middle Ages

Roland Betancourt

Explore the fascinating history of marginalized identities in the medieval world with Byzantine Intersectionality. Author Roland Betancourt delves into little-examined conversations in medieval thought and visual culture around matters of sexual and reproductive consent, bullying and slut-shaming, homosocial and homoerotic relationships, trans and nonbinary gender identities, and the depiction of racialized minorities. With evidence from art, literature, and an impressive array of texts, Betancourt weaves together a new history of gender, sexuality, and race, revealing how these identities have long been enmeshed. Don't miss this groundbreaking look at the culture of the medieval world.

@hragv I don't think I would have been able to engage in this at all and understand it without first reading the work of @sandylocks and @Halfrican_One. Thanks for letting me in on this; it is a groundbreaking book.      source
