Co-Motion Re-Thinking Power, Subjects, and Feminist and Queer Alliances

"In this stunningly original and thoroughly provocative book, Paola Bacchetta proposes a new critical vocabulary for grasping alliances, solidarities, and analytics of power. Co-Motion is an impressively thorough and synthetic survey of contemporary feminist and queer theories for thinking about social change and revolution beyond the borders that now restrict us-and toward a planetary scale."-Mimi Thi Nguyen, author of The Promise of Beauty

"Bacchetta continues to be one of the most important intellectuals of this generation and this book demonstrates exactly why that is the case. Co-Motion creates a compelling and dense lexicon for understanding the present conditions and functionality of power within what she calls situated planetarities. As opposed to the global, a planetary approach is a powerful corrective to much contemporary scholarship on the global. It's digestible and yet profoundly comprehensive."-Karma R. Chavez, author of The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance
