Ezili's Mirrors - Imagining Black Queer Genders (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

From the dagger mistress Ezili Je Wouj and the gender-bending
mermaid Lasiren to the beautiful femme queen Ezili Freda, the Ezili
pantheon of Vodoun spirits represents the divine forces of love,
sexuality, prosperity, pleasure, maternity, creativity, and
fertility. And just as Ezili appears in different guises and
characters, so too does Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley in her voice- and
genre-shifting, exploratory book Ezili's Mirrors. Drawing on her
background as a literary critic as well as her quest to learn the
lessons of her spiritual ancestors, Tinsley theorizes black
Atlantic sexuality by tracing how contemporary queer Caribbean and
African American writers and performers evoke Ezili. Tinsley shows
how Ezili is manifest in the work and personal lives of singers
Whitney Houston and Azealia Banks, novelists Nalo Hopkinson and Ana
Lara, performers MilDred Gerestant and Sharon Bridgforth, and
filmmakers Anne Lescot and Laurence Magloire-none of whom identify
as Vodou practitioners. In so doing, Tinsley offers a model of
queer black feminist theory that creates new possibilities for
decolonizing queer studies.
