While Sexton and Wilderson do not address Fanon's strict gender politics, wherein black men are the normative representatives of blackness whom black women must always follow and support (Dubey, 1998; Wright, 2004), in her essay Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: An American Grammar Book (1987), American academic Hortense Spillers famously produces the black female body as the normative body that is the "natural" target for the colonizer's discourse and anti-progressive exploitation. According to Spillers, because the black female body is the literal biological source of the black race, it is the most frequent target of attack. In making this claim, Spillers does not rebut or reject Fanon's or any Afropessimist scholar's masculinist logic, but simply makes a case for the centrality of the black female (heterosexual) body.
