Answer 1

Hammond's references Audre Lorde when recommending an analysis of black women's sexuality that includes pleasure and the erotic, acknowledges non-heterosexual experiences, and embraces intersectionality.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of Toward a Genealogy of Black Female Sexuality, the writer recommended by Hammond for a complex analysis of black women's sexuality that decenters the heterosexual experience and focuses on both pleasure and the erotic is Audre Lorde. Lorde was a pioneer of intersectionality, insisting on the recognition of herself as black, feminist, and lesbian. Her essay The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House is an example of her work that explores the strength found in embracing one's differences, which includes the plurality of Black women's sexualities and experiences.
