Reviews

"""Eve Dunbar’s exploration of radical satisfaction provides a new way to conceptualize Black female subjectivity outside the limits of racial inclusion. In a series of bold, incisive readings, she analyzes examples of agency and joy that defy conventional narratives of progress. This book provides a necessary reorientation to the power of monstrous work and satisfaction."" —Stephanie Li, author of Ugly White People: Writing Whiteness in Contemporary America  "
