Paperback. Condition: New. In Feels Right Kemi Adeyemi presents an ethnography of how black queer women in Chicago use dance to assert their physical and affective rights to the city. Adeyemi stages the book in queer dance parties in gentrifying neighborhoods, where good feelings are good business. But feeling good is elusive for black queer women whose nightlives are undercut by white people, heterosexuality, neoliberal capitalism, burnout, and other buzzkills. Adeyemi documents how black queer women respond to these conditions: how they destroy DJ booths, argue with one another, dance slowly, and stop partying altogether. Their practices complicate our expectations that life at night, on the queer dance floor, or among black queer community simply feels good. Adeyemi's framework of "feeling right" instead offers a closer, kinesthetic look at how black queer women adroitly manage feeling itself as a complex right they should be afforded in cities that violently structure their movements and energies. What emerges in Feels Right is a sensorial portrait of the critical, black queer geographies and collectivities that emerge in social dance settings and in the broader neoliberal city.

Softcover. Condition: VG+: New in shrinkwrap. A white softcover book with the title in black lettering down the spine. "With the artworks brought together in Barbara Earl Thomas: The Illuminated Body, the artist focuses on the body in order to convey how light and shadow trigger a visual experience and to explore how we communicate who we are as well as our intentions to one another. In one sense, this exploration is highly personal: 'As a Black person, I can't help but see myself in the landscape and imagine how others might experience me based on how I appear to them. I search myself to see how I react to and employ my thoughts and opinions because, aside from being Black, I'm also human and subject to the world's influences.' In another sense, Thomas's latest works seek to express not just the physical but also the metaphysical and metaphorical, the profound and intangible: what is within, what is beyond the sight of our eyes.".…
