The Color Pynk is a passionate exploration of Black femme poetics
of survival. Sidelined by liberal feminists and invisible to
mainstream civil rights movements, Black femmes spent the Trump
years doing what they so often do best: creating politically
engaged art, entertainment, and ideas. In the first full-length
study of Black queer, cis-, and trans-femininity, Omise'eke Natasha
Tinsley argues that this creative work offers a distinctive
challenge to power structures that limit how we color, gender, and
explore freedom. Tinsley engages 2017-2020 Black femme cultural
production that colorfully and provocatively imagines freedom in
the stark white face of its impossibility. Looking to the music of
Janelle Monae and Kelsey Lu, Janet Mock's writing for the
television show Pose, the fashion of Indya Moore and (F)empower,
and the films of Tourmaline and Juliana Huxtable, as well as poetry
and novels, The Color Pynk conceptualizes Black femme as a set of
consciously, continually rescripted cultural and aesthetic
practices that disrupts conventional meanings of race, gender, and
sexuality. There is an exuberant defiance in queer Black
femininity, Tinsley finds--so that Black femmes continue to love
themselves wildly in a world that resists their joy.
