This collection confronts urgent contemporary political questions, harnessing feminist perspectives and centering the experiences, strategies, and thinking technologies from the Caribbean, Americas, and Africa. Fresh is a movement text for our hyper-connected world. This accessible collection of personal essays, creative nonfiction, and scholarly writing for a popular audience convenes artists, activists, writers, troublemakers, scholars, and everyday people living on the frontlines of intersecting relations of power to confront issues not adequately addressed in the existing scholarship. Fresh features urgent feminist and queer mediations on migration, erotic autonomy, violence, gender, race, feminist movements, knowledge, and how we make life in light of, in spite of, and beyond the multiple and interconnected prisms/prisons of power which constrain the majority. Fresh is uncompromising in claiming space for thought, action, and change from the perspectives of racialized women, girls, and gender expansive people; doing so by harnessing the power, spirit, value, and complexities of feminist networking and solidarities.
