Andil Gosine interviews Gloria Wekker about her book The Politics of Passion (2006). The interview discusses how Wekker broke new ground in presenting an analysis of mati work, a surviving historical practice among Afro-Surinamese working-class women who create families from relationships that are not limited to blood ties, or a choice between heterosexuality or homosexuality. Her account offered a rare, thoughtful consideration of a complex Caribbean sexual culture, and continues to challenge conventional knowledges and practices of researchers, rights advocates, and policymakers engaged in the struggle for sexual justice.
