Engaging with the contingencies of white national belongings and recognizable human life within the welfare states of Canada and Sweden this article questions whether Black Muslim women have access to grievable existence. Theorizing through the dismissal of Black death and the dread of Black women’s reproductive capacities, this article considers how the Black Muslim woman who dissolves her Blackness and aborts the once-threatening parts of the self can conditionally enter into mournable life, as the assimilated suicidal subject.

This article thinks about the intellectual inheritances bequeathed to Black Studies scholars, and specifically to scholars of African American religions, from Black women Christian educators of the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. It focuses on two women: Catherine (Katy) Ferguson (1774-1854), a Presbyterian who started the first Sunday school in New York in 1793, and Emily Christmas Kinch (1879-1932), a missionary in the African Methodist Episcopal Church who founded the Eliza Turner Memorial School in Liberia in 1909, and also became a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the 1920s and championed African redemption. It shows how Black women Christian educators developed an “anti-commodified Black Studies,” which in my formulation, refers to grassroots educational institution-building and pedagogical innovation that democratizes the spread and reach of new knowledges for all people.

This article employs the tools of Black Studies to critical engage Assata: An Autobiography, by Assata Shakur and aspects of Shakur’s political legacy. Specifically, this article draws upon Black feminist critiques of gender theory to interrogate how Assata and the altering of Shakur’s image elucidate the distinction between Human and Black gender. Thus, I argue the antiblack nature of the (un)gendering of Shakur, which extends from the text into the present, demonstrates the unrelenting hold of slavery on its after/life. In this respect, inheriting Black Studies must contend with the irreconcilability of antiblack (un)gendering violence as it expands beyond the individual into Blackness.
