Betancourt, Roland. Byzantine Intersectionality: Sexuality, Gender, and Race in the Middle Ages. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2020.
Investigates the entanglements between concepts of sexuality, gender, and race in the context of the Byzantine Empire from the 4th to 15th centuries. The book draws upon a range of case studies to excavate a history of overlapping marginalizations and minoritizations in the Byzantine world. It engages conversations across several fields including the study of gender, sexuality, religion, and art history.
