A review by mmcloe
Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals by Saidiya Hartman

adventurous emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely astonishing understanding of the archives and history and aesthetics and radical optimism. Hartman is the most exciting scholar writing right now and the combination of her prose talents and the depth of her research (evidenced by the hundreds of footnotes) is unmatched in any genre.
