“…In this way, I join the labor of scholars working throughout the black diaspora that refuse the binary of state and interpersonal violence, as well as the colonial/postcolonial divide in excavations of gender‐based violence. Scholars who fall into that category are Shanya Cordis (2019), Christen Smith (2016), Andaiye (2020), Yomaira Figueroa‐Vásquez and Jessica Marie Johnson (2021), Alysia Mann Carey (2014), Savannah Shange (2022), and Brendane Tynes (2022), among others.…”

In this article, I place in conversation multiple forms of violence against those who occupy the category of poor black woman in Trinidad: the abuse and premature death of these women at the hands of their partners or strangers, the physical and discursive violence against black women by the state, the theft of their children due to inter/intra-community and police violence, and the grief black women are often forced to carry. I show how these different forms of violence converge on and in black women’s bodies and, rather than being distinct in causation and effect, constitute multiple iterations of the ongoing colonialist extraction of black women’s lives for the creation of different forms of masculinist state and economic power. Ultimately, I show how masculine and feminine subjectivities are produced in tandem with racialized positionings through violence and comprehensively document what is gendered violence and how it is embodied.
