by Aurora Levins Morales

The Buenos Aires Reader

Daughter, Mother, Grandmother, and Whore

Gabriela Leite

“Amid a tempest of hemispheric social movements, this skillfully framed volume unveils the potent life narrative of an international icon of the sex worker's movement. With unfiltered candor, Gabriela Leite shares her intimate lessons in life and politics, delivering an unflinching message of solidarity and resistance for new generations of sexual rights activists.” - Juana María Rodríguez, author of Puta Life: Seeing Latinas, Working Sex

Landbridge

Y-Dang Troeung

“Landbridge is a deeply moving memoir of love and loss after wars that are not ended, especially for those whose lives are indelibly marked by its injuries. The impact of a life in fragments—fragmented by war, death, trauma, and, finally, chemotherapy—is felt on every page as Y-Dang Troeung grapples with what it means to commit her memory of all these fragments to writing, for love of herself, others like her—Cambodian refugees—and her family, including her partner and son to whom she leaves this memoir.” - Mimi Thi Nguyen, author of The Promise of Beauty

Rio as Method

“This collection of short, punchy essays by Brazilian scholar-activists crafts a uniquely Latin American methodology in order to decolonize the way we have traditionally approached Rio de Janeiro and Brazil more generally. Radically innovative, Rio as Method questions the usual weight given to citation practices and scholarly pedigrees so prevalent in the Global North, which frequently reproduce the very exclusions they examine. This project breaks new ground by privileging the voices of Brazilians who are thinking and living through their nation’s race, class, and gender inequalities.” - Carmen Alvaro Jarrin, author of The Biopolitics of Beauty: Cosmetic Citizenship and Affective Capital in Brazil

Life beside Bars

Heath Pearson

“Heath Pearson’s ethnographic voice is tightly attuned to the politics of living, as he deliberately rejects and excises styles and conventions of liberal humanism as a force in tight collusion with capitalism. This is a major accomplishment in and of itself, while his theorization of prisons is powerful. The wild array of stories from characters of all kinds in this carefully crafted book makes a significant point; I learned something of how people live. The effect of this book is visceral.” - Kathleen Stewart, coauthor of The Hundreds

Erosion

Gina Caison

“Gina Caison’s Erosion is a superb example of environmental humanities scholarship and will serve as a model for the field’s methodologies and their affordances. Caison shows that the movement of soil across regions of the United States may appear naturalized but in fact reflects the ecological, social, and cultural depredations of settler colonialism and racial capital. Bringing Indigenous and regional studies perspectives to a powerful narrative of the material and metaphorical effects of the shifting ground of US settler land management, Erosion will generate keen, widespread interest.” - Hester Blum, author of The News at the Ends of the Earth: The Print Culture of Polar Exploration

The Rule of Dons

Rivke Jaffe

“Rivke Jaffe’s brilliant book opens windows onto the question of political legitimacy within a postcolonial context where many urban denizens have been excluded from formal political processes or mobilized as mercenaries within a partisan system. Though grounded in the realities of Jamaica, Jaffe’s insights regarding sovereignty, informality, and the power of populism stretch far beyond the region and its long histories of imperialism and plantation-based slavery. The Rule of Dons is a must-read for anyone probing the possibilities of political life, now and in the future.” - Deborah A. Thomas, author of Political Life in the Wake of the Plantation: Sovereignty, Witnessing, Repair

Marx for Cats

Leigh Claire La Berge

“Marx for Cats is an undomesticated and indefinable meow de coeur. You can open this book anywhere---it's a Marxist Choose Your Own Adventure---and come away as unsettled, possessed, and reflective as any transportative encounter with a cat might leave you.” - Jordy Rosenberg, author of Confessions of the Fox

In the Wake

Christina Sharpe

"Christina Sharpe brings everything she has to bear on her consideration of the violation and commodification of Black life and the aesthetic responses to this ongoing state of emergency. Through her curatorial practice, Sharpe marshals the collective intellectual heft and aesthetic inheritance of the African diaspora to show us the world as it appears from her distinctive line of sight. A searing and brilliant work." - Saidiya Hartman, author of Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route

Black Disability Politics

Sami Schalk

“Black disabled genius is crucial to the work of creating a free present and future. In Black Disability Politics, Sami Schalk does so much absolutely brilliant Black queer disabled femme labor of surfacing buried Black disabled activist histories and organizing lessons. Her book is a Black queer disabled love offering, and reading it made me shout for joy and learn so much. I’m so grateful this book is in the world. Read it and give thanks that we get to share the world with the brilliance of Schalk and the organizers she writes about—then get to work putting into practice the lessons you’ve learned, so we can win.” - Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, author of Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice

Raving

McKenzie Wark

“Passionately exploring queer rave culture, Raving is the fantasy and the moment. There are drugs and sex, tangled love affairs, rejection, the highs and lows of the dance floors, and all the messiness that makes up a rave evening. A potent book.” - madison moore, author of Fabulous: The Rise of the Beautiful Eccentric

Living a Feminist Life

Sara Ahmed

“From the moment I received Sara Ahmed’s new work, Living a Feminist Life, I couldn’t put it down. It’s such a brilliant, witty, visionary new way to think about feminist theory. Everyone should read this book. It offers amazing new ways of knowing and talking about feminist theory and practice. And, it is also delightful, funny, and as the song says, ‘your love has lifted me higher.’ Ahmed lifts us higher.” - bell hooks
