| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this paper is to examine the social space of the African American Social Movement where race, class, gender, sexuality, and nationalism have been negotiated. This study, first, clarifies the way the movement limited women and sexual minorities' rights in its early days, and then the way they have challenged the patriarchal system or the culture of black masculinity. This study also argues the importance of the trans-Atlantic cultural communication in the process of reconstructing and enriching the social activism not for sexual minorities but for all those who, both men and women, were under the pressure of the politics of patriarchal family, black masculinity, and modern nationalism. Eventually, this paper scrutinizes the meaning of the racially articulated sexual representations and ideologies rooted in the US society, and the way race, class, gender, sexuality, and power are intertwined, redefined, reconstructed in the African American community and the US society.
