After Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments
Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity by C. Riley Snorton
If Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments set your spirit ablaze with tales of queer radicals flipping scripts on victimhood through intimate, defiant experiments in love and resistance, imagine extending that fire into Black trans histories. Snorton's Black on Both Sides uncovers audacious figures hustling in marginal urban spaces, challenging heteronormative empires with speculative biographies that echo Hartman's reclamation of overlooked archives. It's a manifesto of intersectional defiance, blending raw desires and anti-colonial kinship for readers hungry for intellectual transgression.
