not me writing an impromptu lecture about Black feminism in Harriet Jacobs's "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: Written by Herself" and how the feminism in her text can also be seen in AfroMexican women's leadership and fight against white supremacy and patriarchy.

I know that invoking Latinx & Chicanx studies in this discussion is not the same b/c right now, the Indigenous communities harmed are inside the U.S. and as a migrant, I want to add a transnational perspective & point to some of the ways other fields make space for pretendians.

The volume offers up three central questions: How do queer and/or trans Black writers of Latin American descent address memory? What are the textures of caring, being cared for, and accepting care as Black queer and/or trans people of Latin American descent?

I really can't believe that the move from X scholar declares as if I am not also a scholar-artist who declared that sentiment. The politics of citation is beyond me. I love Black Indigenous epistemological erasure.
