"In its deep engagements with the three movements of its title, Black Trans Feminism is a very exciting book to read, digest, and think through. Marquis Bey's focus on fugitivity and the elastic category of the fugitive stealing themself back is a highly salient and timely conceptual offering, and I'm astonished by the clarity, precision, and deep-digging that Bey brings to the material. Those working at the interstices of Black trans feminism need this gift of manifest lucidity to reference, teach, and expound on."--Eliza Steinbock, author of "Shimmering Images: Trans Cinema, Embodiment, and the Aesthetics of Change"

"Black Trans Feminism constitutes an incisive critique and interrogation of the very grammars of gender normativity. . . . With this project, he attempts to reconfigure how we understand kinship, blackness, transness and Black feminism in order to establish a coalition that can be understood as a broadening of kinship network relationalities, affinities and affiliations."--Marietta Kosma "European Journal of American Culture" (10/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)

"Black Trans Feminism is a deep philosophical and literary exploration of Black trans feminism. . . . The book offers critical and imaginative visions of gender radical and abolitionist futures. Bey tell us how we can possibly get there with a sense of hope that is so rare in academic writing."--Nishant Upadhyay "American Quarterly" (11/30/2022 12:00:00 AM)

"Bey's work is an important contribution to the conversations surrounding race, transgender identity, and feminist praxis, providing a hopeful mode for reimagining our world and ourselves. . . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty."--D. E. Magill "Choice" (3/1/2023 12:00:00 AM)
