Sidelined by liberal feminists and invisible to mainstream civil rights movements, Black femmes spent the Trump years doing what they so often do best: creating politically engaged art, entertainment, and ideas. In the first full-length study of Black queer, cis-, and trans-femininity, Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley argues that this creative work offers a distinctive challenge to power structures that limit how we color, gender, and explore freedom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eTinsley engages 2017–2020 Black femme cultural production that colorfully and provocatively imagines freedom in the stark white face of its impossibility.

There is an exuberant defiance in queer Black femininity, Tinsley finds—so that Black femmes continue to love themselves wildly in a world that resists their joy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearl Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45498252918981,"sku":"OFA2102503","price":33.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/7660\/8453\/files\/s-l1600_aec78507-63bb-4af3-8386-72c1c52f4f7c.webp?v=1779676057","url":"https:\/\/pearlpress.com.au\/products\/color-pynk-black-femme-art-for-survival-omiseeke-natasha-tinsley-feminism-2022","provider":"Pearl Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
