“In this stunningly original and thoroughly provocative book, Paola Bacchetta proposes a new critical vocabulary for grasping alliances, solidarities, and the analytics of power. <i>Co-Motion</i> is an impressively thorough and synthetic survey of contemporary feminist and queer theories for thinking about social change and revolution beyond the borders that now restrict us—and toward a planetary scale.”—Mimi Thi Nguyen, author of <i>The Promise of Beauty</i><br /><br />“Bacchetta continues to be one of the most important intellectuals of this generation and this book demonstrates exactly why that is the case. <i>Co-Motion</i> creates a compelling and dense lexicon for understanding the present conditions and functionality of power within what she calls situated planetarities. As opposed to the global, a planetary approach is a powerful corrective to much contemporary scholarship on the global. It’s digestible and yet profoundly comprehensive.”—Karma R. Chavez, author of <i>The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance</i>
