In Black, Quare, and Then to Where jennifer susanne leath explores the relationship between Afrodiasporic theories of justice and Black sexual ethics through a womanist engagement with Mat the ancient Egyptian deity of justice and truth. Mat took into account the historical and cultural context of each humans life, thus encompassing nuances of politics, race, gender, and sexuality. Arguing that Mat should serve as a foundation for reconfiguring Black sexual ethics, leath applies ancient Egyptian moral codes to quare ethics of the erotic, expanding what relationships and democratic practices might look like from a contemporary Matian perspective. She also draws on Pan-Africanism and examines the work of Alice Walker, E. Patrick Johnson, Cheikh Anta Diop, Sylvia Wynter, Sun Ra, and others. She shows that together these thinkers and traditions inform and expand the possibilities of Matian justice with respect to Black sexual experiences. As a moral force, leath contends, Mat opens new possibilities for mapping ethical frameworks to understand, redefine, and imagine justices in the United States.
