Book Talk by WGSS Alum Dr. Caitlin Wiesner – 11/6/25

Book Talk: Between the Street and the State examines how Black anti-rape organizers critically engaged both the feminist movement against sexual violence and the federal War on Crime between 1974 and 1994. Their multifaceted and adaptable brand of anti-rape advocacy was premised on sustaining the survival of Black women and girls individually and Black communities more broadly. In this way, Black anti-rape activists countered the growing emphasis within the feminist movement on controlling rape through carceral collaborations. The event will take place on November 6th, 2025, in the Intercultural Center in Roscoe West at 5:00pm. Contact wgss@tcnj.edu with any questions.
