Through a carefully crafted and resoundingly intimate practice of critical situatedness, Amber Jamilla Musser brings the critic into embodied relation with every scene of encounter. Animal bodies, maternal bodies, the bodies of strangers, and our own vulnerable bodies coalesce in this beautiful book to orient us toward the plurivocal and multisensory worlds always proliferating against colonial capture.” -- Julietta Singh, author of * The Breaks *\u003cbr\u003e“Bringing together unexpected constellations of contemporary texts while experimenting with form and point of view, Amber Jamilla Musser holistically reenvisions how a \u003ci\u003ebody of work\u003c\/i\u003e can be stretched, massaged, and released in order to attune to the creative ways racialized, colonized, and queer bodies map and remap the embodied experiences of trauma and resilience. This thought-provoking, beautifully written, and creative work will reshape current conversations in Black studies, feminist studies, art criticism, performance studies, film studies, and beyond.” -- Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley, author of * The Color Pynk: Black Femme Art for Survival *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction.
