Candice M. Jenkins earned her PhD in English from Duke University
in 2001. Her research and teaching consider intersections of gender,
sexuality, and class in African American literature, particularly
that of the 20th century.
Her first book, Private Lives, Proper Relations: Regulating Black
Intimacy, examines how African American writers articulate the political
consequences of intimacy for the already-vulnerable black subject.
The book is forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press (Spring
2007). She is currently beginning work on a second book project,
tentatively entitled A Troubled Tenth: Class, Color, and the New
Politics of Blackness, in which she reevaluates the material complexities
of, and the resultant fissures within, African American culture
in a post-Civil Rights moment.
Professor Jenkins’ writing has appeared in African American
Review, MELUS, and American Literature; most recently, her article
"Pure Black: Class, Color and Intraracial Politics in Toni
Morrison’s Paradise" appeared in the July 2006 "Toni
Morrison" special issue of Modern Fiction Studies.
