“In Marquis Bey's deeply creative and fiercely imaginative book, Black trans feminism describes a kind of worldly inhabitation and a radical form of theorizing power and refusal in ways that are not contingent on identity. In Bey's hands, Black trans feminism becomes a powerful call for vulnerability, fugitive hope, abolition, and freedom. <i>Black Trans Feminism</i> allows us to gesture to all that we want from this world but do not yet know how to name.” - Jennifer C. Nash, author of (Birthing Black Mothers) “In its deep engagements with the three movements of its title, <i>Black Trans Feminism</i> is a very exciting book to read, digest, and think through. Marquis Bey’s focus on fugitivity and the elastic category of the fugitive stealing themself back is a highly salient and timely conceptual offering, and I’m astonished by the clarity, precision, and deep-digging that Bey brings to the material. Those working at the interstices of Black trans feminism need this gift of manifest lucidity to reference, teach, and expound on.” - Eliza Steinbock, author of (Shimmering Images: Trans Cinema, Embodiment, and the Aesthetics of Change) “<i>Black Trans Feminism </i>constitutes an incisive critique and interrogation of the very grammars of gender normativity. . . . With this project, he attempts to reconfigure how we understand kinship, blackness, transness and Black feminism in order to establish a coalition that can be understood as a broadening of kinship network relationalities, affinities and affiliations.” - Marietta Kosma (European Journal of American Culture) "Bey’s work is an important contribution to the conversations surrounding race, transgender identity, and feminist praxis, providing a hopeful mode for reimagining our world and ourselves. . . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty." - D. E. Magill (Choice) “<i>Black Trans Feminism </i>is a deep philosophical and literary exploration of Black trans feminism. . . . The book offers critical and imaginative visions of gender radical and abolitionist futures. Bey tell us how we can possibly get there with a sense of hope that is so rare in academic writing.” - Nishant Upadhyay (American Quarterly) "Bey’s work is bold, generative, and bracing in what can feel a deadlocked debate, with much to offer feminist scholars interested in identity and power."<br />   - Alanah Mortlock (European Journal of Women's Studies) "It seems that everyone is talking about blackness, transness, and feminism, and in that sense, this book matters a great deal in that it is positioned to be a go-to for thinking through these urgent questions. Eccentric subjectless, and desedimenting, Bey’s <i>Black Trans Feminism</i> sets out to exceed the identity project, instead proffering a transformational, unfixed subjectivity." - Abraham B. Weil (The Black Scholar)
