Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity by C. Riley Snorton

3.0

This book is not what you think by simply reading the title. While the author tells us that in the intro I was more surprised than anything in how it shakes out. This reads very intellectual dissertation style and while it’s interesting it’s a bit discombobulated. I learned a few new things here which is nice but I would’ve preferred it focusing on black trans folk and not the vague trans black gendered discussion we get in this book.
