Inhaltsangabe

‘A brilliant, useful, and immensely moving book that deals a critical blow to the epistemic austerity of our times’—Jordy Rosenberg, author of Confessions of the Fox

‘Astute and hopeful ... 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’—H.L.T. Quan, author of Become Ungovernable

‘What we need at this moment is a powerful, steadfast commitment to liberation. And this book is it’—Marquis Bey, author of Black Trans Feminism

‘Beautiful and necessary’—Trish Salah

‘Femme’ describes a constellation of queer, gendered expressions that uproot expectations of what it means to be feminine. Building upon experiences of transformation, belonging and harm, this book offers transfeminist contributions to movements for collective liberation.

Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise all of our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives rather than institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition.

The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.

Nat Raha is a poet, and lecturer at Glasgow School of Art. She contributed to the collection Transgender Marxism. She has authored four books of poetry, numerous journal articles, and her writing has been translated into eight languages. Mijke van der Drift is tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. Mijke’s work on ethics has appeared in various formats in journals, performances, and sound pieces. Together, Nat and Mijke co-edit Radical Transfeminism zine.
