Reviews

“In asking what the truth of the interior parts of a Black ‘self’ might reveal, Samantha Pinto contests assumptions about proper objects, investigates the boundary of metaphor and its constraints, and pushes us to reevaluate what’s at stake in a particular kind of Black Feminist critique.”—Sharon P. Holland, author of an other: black feminist consideration of animal life “With a deep commitment to material and metaphor, Pinto takes us through the thoroughly racialized history of the black body—organ by organ. Weaving and reweaving the grammar and narrative of flesh and bones, this is an interdisciplinary tour-de-force! A must read for our times.”—Banu Subramaniam, author of Botany of Empire
