Abstract Minnie Bruce Pratt (1946-) and Mab Segrest (1949-) are white middle-class lesbians that both came of age during the classical phase of the Civil Rights Movement in rural Alabama. Today, they are considered influential figures in feminist and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) literary movements and recognized as important activists in late twentieth-century feminist, LGBTQ, and anti-racist political struggles. Examining Pratt’s Rebellion: Essays, 1980-1991 (1991) and Segrest’s Memoir of a Race Traitor (1994), I argue that both texts deconstruct the sociopolitical dynamics and ideologies that inform the inculcation of white middle-class southern womanhood specifically and hegemonic white southern culture generally through performing a form of anti-racist praxis that I call geospatial critique. This term addresses how Pratt and Segrest mine spaces that they occupy for histories of struggle, paying specific attention to how white settler-colonialism and chattel slavery produced particular epistemologies of race, class, gender, and sexuality that continue to influence social identities and practices in the present. Initially developed during Pratt and Segrest’s collaboration on Feminary, a lesbian-feminist journal located in Durham, North Carolina, between 1978 and 1982, geospatial critique, I suggest, is a direct response to or a way of undoing the racial training that was part of the production of whiteness in the south from the turn to the first half of the twentieth century.

“不是我的名字”:Mab Segrest和Minnie Bruce Pratt的反种族主义作法

摘要Minnie Bruce Pratt(1946-)和Mab Segrest(1949-)是白人中产阶级女同性恋者,都在阿拉巴马州农村民权运动的古典时期成年。如今,他们已被认为是女权主义和女同性恋,男同性恋,双性恋,变性和同志(LGBTQ)文学运动中的重要人物,并且在二十世纪后期的女权主义者,LGBTQ和反种族主义政治斗争中被视为重要的活动家。我考察了普拉特的《叛乱:散文集》(1980-1991年,1991年)和塞格里斯特的《种族叛徒回忆录》(1994年),我认为这两个文本都破坏了社会政治动态和意识形态,这些文化和意识形态特别是在灌输白人中产阶级南部女性和南部霸权白人文化方面的教育。通常通过执行一种我称之为地理空间批评的形式的反种族主义实践来培养文化。该术语说明了普拉特(Pratt)和塞格勒斯特(Segrest)的矿山空间如何为斗争史所占据,特别关注白人定居者的殖民主义和动产奴隶制如何产生种族,阶级,性别和性的特定认识论,这些认识论继续影响社会的身份和习俗。现在。我建议,在普拉特(Pratt)和塞格斯特(Segrest)合作创建于1978年至1982年之间位于北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市的女同性恋杂志《女性》时,我认为地理空间批评是对种族培训的直接回应或一种撤消的方式。从20世纪初到20世纪上半叶,南部出现了白色现象。特别注意白人定居者的殖民主义和动产奴隶制如何产生种族,阶级,性别和性的特定认识论,这些认识论继续影响当前的社会身份和习俗。我建议,在普拉特(Pratt)和塞格斯特(Segrest)合作创建于1978年至1982年之间位于北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市的女同性恋杂志《女性》时,我认为地理空间批评是对种族培训的直接回应或一种撤消的方式。从20世纪初到20世纪上半叶,南部出现了白色现象。特别注意白人定居者的殖民主义和动产奴隶制如何产生种族,阶级,性别和性的特定认识论,这些认识论继续影响当前的社会身份和习俗。我建议,在普拉特(Pratt)和塞格斯特(Segrest)合作创建于1978年至1982年之间位于北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市的女同性恋杂志《女权主义者》的过程中,我认为地理空间批评是对种族主义训练的直接回应或一种撤消的方式。从20世纪初到20世纪上半叶,南部出现了白色现象。
