ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a broader vision of the future of black feminism which rearticulates the importance of agency in black women's lives; and argues for a wider notion of agency that is big enough to "fuck with the grays" while at the same time holds true to those things, including the seminal concept of agency, that have supported black women in the USA. "Times they are a changing" and just because theory may not be there that does not mean that the streets have not already reached there. Robert Mapplethorpe's Black Book is a collection of black and white photos of nude black gay male bodies. Jose Estaban Munoz's examination of disidentification attempts to trouble the fixedness of identity as well as the way that social scripts overlay the body, imbuing it with signification that restricts its functionality and freedoms. Disidentification disrupts the virgin–whore dichotomy, allowing for new forms of sexuality to emerge.
