“Trans life grows in impossible places. In <i>How We Make Each Other</i>, Perry Zurn charts a rhizomatic story of how trans life in excess of liberal scripts of inclusion has and might yet grow in the university-one such impossible place. I cannot wait to teach this book, to nourish and provide historicity to my students’ agitation, their unruly sociality, and their sense that another university is possible---is, in fact, what they make together every day.” - Cameron Awkward-Rich, author of (The Terrible We: Thinking with Trans Maladjustment) “In giving careful attention to the ingenuity and radicality of trans makers and movements, Perry Zurn is simultaneously documenting and creating new epistemologies of transness. He helps us read transness in the university not as a problem but as a jubilant more-ness beyond the dichotomy of problem and solution. In his compelling, lovely, and often heartbreaking renderings, trans life is a form of creation that draws on direct action, linguistic experimentation, and joyful solidarity to find alliances and forge community. This book will be cherished and loved by many people for a very long time to come.” - Gayle Salamon, author of (The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia) “This book is lovely! Perry Zurn has an unusually graceful way with words, and what he’s saying is powerful stuff.” - Sandy Stone, author, artist, performer, engineer, and debonair trans-about-town
