'Astute and hopeful, Trans Femme Futures manages to divulge profound theoretical insights of trans liberation as intimate and soulful endeavours of trans living and world making on the margins. Offering up an abolitionist 'transfeminist love-politics' as a practical antidote to the suffocating neoliberal world order, the book is a breath of fresh air amidst stale and moribund, if long rehearsed, existing bad faith discourses on gender and its many troubles'
-- H.L.T. Quan, author of
Become Ungovernable'A brilliant, useful, and immensely moving book that deals a critical blow to the epistemic austerity of our times. With their chromatic defence of theory as a 'tool to work upon the imagination,' Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift have exemplified that rare and precious genre of revolutionary writing that knows how to buoy and calm its reader enough to absorb complex argument and body forward its stakes'
-- Jordy Rosenberg, author of
Confessions of the Fox'A radical and sensuous ethics of trans femme complicity, collectivity and worldmaking, Raha and van der Drift theorise anti-colonial femmes practices which 'undo the grip of empire on the soul through the senses' in this beautiful and necessary work'
-- Trish Salah, Associate Professor of Gender Studies, Queens University and author of
Wanting in Arabic'When one thinks of trans, feminism, and radical as genuinely, inextricably entangled, one thinks of this book. This is what we need at this moment: a powerful, steadfast commitment to liberation. And this is it.'
-- Marquis Bey, author of
Black Trans Feminism'Trans Femme Futures offers a theoretically rich account of the forms of care that support the wellbeing of transfeminine people, showing how these caring practices link up tangibly to what could be called an ethics of abolition.'
