In The Small Book of Hip Checks Erica Rand uses multiple meanings
of hip check-including an athlete using their hip to throw an
opponent off-balance and the inspection of racialized gender-to
consider the workings of queer gender, race, and writing.
Explicitly attending to processes of writing and revising, Rand
pursues interruption, rethinking, and redirection to challenge
standard methods of argumentation and traditional markers of heft
and fluff. She writes about topics including a trans shout-out in a
Super Bowl ad, the heyday of lavender dildos, ballet dancer Misty
Copeland, the criticism received by figure skater Debi Thomas and
tennis great Serena Williams for competing in bodysuits while
Black, and the gendering involved in identifying the remains of
people who die trying to cross into the United States south of
Tucson, Arizona. Along the way, Rand encourages making muscle
memory of experimentation and developing an openness to being
conceptually knocked sideways. In other words, to be hip-checked.
