 **Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley**  
*[Beyoncé in Formation: Remixing Black Feminism](https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/tinsley-beyonce-in-formation)*

 An incisive, spiraling celebration of Southern black women.  
— Publishers Weekly

 Sure to appeal to scholars and pop-culture enthusiasts alike, this provocative book works to blur the lines between straight and gay black feminism. . . Lively and intelligent reading.  
— Kirkus Reviews

 **Keridwen Luis**  
*[Herlands: Exploring the Women’s Land Movement in the United States](https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/herlands)*

 Herlands is an accessible and sympathetic ethnography of the lesbian back-to-the-land movement. Going well beyond caricatures of landdykes, Keridwen N. Luis shows the promise of feminist intentional communities—their enactment of utopic ideals of collectivity, feminist embodiment, and ecofeminism—without sidelining how the animating logic of women’s nature/nature-as-woman also reproduces transphobia, white supremacy, and settler colonialism. What emerges is a complex reading of gender, race, and nature in a rural lesbian culture.

 — Margot Weiss, author of *Techniques of Pleasure: BDSM and the Circuits of Sexuality*

 **Annabel Kim**  
*[Unbecoming Language: Anti-Identitarian French Feminist Fictions](https://ohiostatepress.org/books/titles/9780814213841.html)*

 What would ‘French theory’ or ‘French feminism’ look like if it is based on the trio Sarraute, Wittig, and Garréta? Kim raises this paradigm-shifting question through a nuanced engagement with the authors’ ‘unbecoming’ literary experiments, challenging us to overhaul the more familiar categories of feminist and queer identity politics.  
—Rey Chow, author of *Not Like a Native Speaker: On Languaging as a Postcolonial Experience*
