Going beyond positing the simultaneity of the binaries of race, gender, and sexuality, what is revealed by the analysis is the mutual constitution of these categories of othering. ...in black consciousness poetry, the black, male, strong, creative, and virtuous speaking position emerges in opposition to the white oppressor and through the vehicle of the feminine, represented either as "Mother Africa"-passive, violated, and "the medium of male creativity" (32)-or as "treacherous, morally corrupt, and promiscuous" (33). ...identity is seen as hybrid, complex, and coalescing through, rather than in opposition to, the other.
