Signs-42-3-Cover

The cover of the Spring 2017 issue of Signs features Lorna Simpson’s Five Day Forecast (1988).

The Spring 2017 issue of Signs is now available online. The issue features a symposium commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham’s pivotal Signs article, “African-American Women’s History and the The Metalanguage of Race.” The symposium, edited by Sherie M. Randolph, features essays by Robin D. G. Kelley, Tamar W. Carroll, Dayo F. Gore, Marlon M. Bailey and L. H. Stallings, and Randolph, as well as a response and reflection by Higginbotham.

The issue also contains articles about the framing and reception of Afghan women’s narratives for a Western audience, pornography and labor, women’s protests in Ukraine, and the political economy of Muslim Chinese women’s wearing of maozi.

Two aspects of the Feminist Public Intellectuals Project are also featured: Susan J. Carroll discusses gender and electoral politics with Suzanna Danuta Walters, in “Ask a Feminist” (a longer transcript and audio is also available here). And “Short Takes” examine Gloria Steinem’s My Life on the Road and Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik’s Notorious RBG (also available online here).
