Use the following prompt to construct a 4-6 page essay.

Prompt I choose: How did black women blues artists radicalize and attempt to disrupt normative notions of gender and sexuality? How have these transgressive practices been managed or, to a large degree, historically or culturally suppressed? For this question you should refer to Angela Davis work and or Hammers article.

You must cite at least 2 Times from whatever text or texts you use to answer the question you choose. This means quoted language directly taken from the texts, just as Ive done above. Cite the texts in the following way as an example: As Max Roach writes: What jazz means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudicethe term jazz has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians; it has come to mean cultural prejudice and condescension.(307).
