I don't feel quite qualified to review this academic text because I don't have a strong theoretical background in queer, gender, and race studies. It seems like the author delves deeply into the historic texts and theory to make compelling points about race, gender, and trans identities.

a book full of extremely useful & important information about the history of black & trans bodies. clearly very well researched and presented. it does read very dry/textbook-like which can make it hard to read straight through as a non-scholar, but knowing that going in helps. I, personally, took breaks while reading.
if you have interest in this topic or a wish to be more informed, I highly recommend.
