"In asking what the truth of the interior parts of a Black 'self' might reveal, Samantha Pinto contests assumptions about proper objects, investigates the boundary of metaphor and its constraints, and pushes us to reevaluate what's at stake in a particular kind of Black Feminist critique."-Sharon P. Holland, author of an other: black feminist consideration of animal life "With a deep commitment to material and metaphor, Pinto takes us through the thoroughly racialized history of the black body-organ by organ. Weaving and reweaving the grammar and narrative of flesh and bones, this is an interdisciplinary tour-de-force! A must read for our times."-Banu Subramaniam, author of Botany of Empire
