“At a time when struggles over public memory are so urgent, it is critical to understand how this concept works and has varied across space and time.

“Turning key Enlightenment aesthetic notions on their heads, Strange Tastes shows it is possible to find unruly imaginaries and ways of being inclusive of selves and tastes traditionally relegated to the edges of society.

Davis, from the Foreword

"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 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

A potent book.” - madison moore, author of Fabulous: The Rise of the Beautiful Eccentric

“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.

And, it is also delightful, funny, and as the song says, ‘your love has lifted me higher.’ Ahmed lifts us higher.” - bell hooks
