Bodyminds Reimagined: (dis)Ability, Race, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction by Sami Schalk

5.0

Incredibly thoughtful meditations on race, gender, and discourse. The best applications of intersectional feminism and disability justice on media I’ve come across. the material Schalk explores is so rich with analysis, imagination, and fucking PLEASURE. This book was an absolute PLEASURE to read, think about, sit with, feel, share. I’ve deepened friendships over discussing this text, and sharing its insights when discussing the works it analyzes in community. Please read this book- For all fans of sci fi, fantasy, Justice, pleasure, feminist theory, queer theory, anti racist feminism, and books that connect the arts, politics, and life.
Edit: schalk is a genius
