Sidelined by liberal feminists and invisible to mainstream civil rights movements, Black femmes spent the Trump years doing what they so often do best: creating politically engaged art, entertainment, and ideas. In the first full-length study of Black queer, cis-, and trans-femininity, Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley argues that this creative work offers a distinctive challenge to power structures that limit how we color, gender, and explore freedom. \u003cp\u003e Tinsley engages 2017-2020 Black femme cultural production that colorfully and provocatively imagines freedom in the stark white face of its impossibility. Looking to the music of Janelle Monáe and Kelsey Lu, Janet Mock's writing for the television show \u003ci\u003ePose\u003c\/i\u003e, the fashion of Indya Moore and (F)empower, and the films of Tourmaline and Juliana Huxtable, as well as poetry and novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Color Pynk\u003c\/i\u003e conceptualizes Black femme as a set of consciously, continually rescripted cultural and aesthetic practices that disrupts conventional meanings of race, gender, and sexuality. There is an exuberant defiance in queer Black femininity, Tinsley finds--so that Black femmes continue to love themselves wildly in a world that resists their joy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477321152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477321157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 1.02d","brand":"Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071488094463,"sku":"9781477321157","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_876f1f36-d4a3-4897-9f8e-a38cde01e2d7.jpg?v=1685436394","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-color-pynk-omiseeke-natasha-tinsley-9781477321157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
