In her most recent book, \u201cThe Black Women\u2019s Womb. Capitalism, Race, Feminism\u201d (2017), she explores the racial politics of birth control from the slave trade to today, and criticizes white bourgeois feminism.
\nVerg\u00e8s spent her childhood in La R\u00e9union, and has lived in Algeria, France, Mexico, England and the United States. After having worked as a journalist and editor in the women’s liberation movement in France, she moved to the United States in 1983, where she worked before enrolling in university. She obtained a dual Bachelor’s degree summa cum laude in Political Science and Women’s Studies in San Diego, then a Doctorate in Political Science at Berkeley, California (1995). Her thesis \u201cMonsters and Revolutionaries. Colonial Family Romance\u201d, for which she obtained the award for the best thesis in political theory, was published by Duke University Press (1999). She has taught at Sussex University and Goldsmiths College in England. She became a member of the Comit\u00e9 pour la m\u00e9moire et l\u2019histoire de l\u2019esclavage (Committee for the remembrance and history of slavery) in 2004 (Taubira Act of 2001), and was its president from 2009 to 2012. Between 2003 and 2010, she developed the scientific and cultural programme for a museum for the 21st century on the island of La R\u00e9union. She is also a member of several institutions working to prevent discrimination and racism; she sits on the board of the Galerie B\u00e9tonsalon and on the scientific council of the Fondation Lilian Thuram \u2013 \u00c9ducation contre le racisme. Verg\u00e8s was also chairholder of the Global South(s) Chair at the Coll\u00e8ge d\u2019Etudes Mondiales from 2014 to 2018.
