Advanced undergraduates through faculty professionals. Tourmaline, artist, activist, and writerĪ must read for those interested in dismantling systems of oppression and in trans/queer liberation. Stanley's queer and trans stories rise beyond assimilation, honoring our gorgeous survival and refusals as resistance. Lauren Berlant, author of * Cruel Optimism *Ītmospheres of Violence offers a generous and generative reminder that queer and trans lives have always been bigger and more brilliant than the deadly state that tries to frighten and cajole us. Throughout, Stanley offers vital pedagogies of truancy and wicked survival for potential collective life. Written with tenderness and passionate thunder, the book's brilliant storytelling circulates grief and hope for the governed who remain alive and ungovernable. Stanley's Atmospheres of Violence animates trans/queer, young queer, and racially dominated lives never quite stamped out by a brittle white supremacist egosystem.
