Ezili's Mirrors: Imagining Black Queer GendersFrom 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
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.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Resource!
Format: Hardcover
The online resources are invaluable. The book came to me in a timely manner. This publisher does a great job at explaining legal principles and giving several examples of how the law is applied. I've enjoyed using it in my semester work thus far.

Digital textbook code already redeemed
Format: Hardcover
This book arrived unwrapped. Inside the textbook there was a return packing slip from Aug 2024 that someone forgot to remove. Unsurprisingly, upon checking I realized that someone already redeemed the digital textbook code that accompanies the book.
I was sent an opened textbook that someone purchased and stole the digital code before returning.

Buyers Beware! New Doesn't Mean New :/
Format: Hardcover
Buyers beware: despite this being labeled as NEW on the product description, I soon discovered that the e-Book code had already been redeemed. Not only is this incredibly frustrating for academic reasons (i.e., the need to use the e-Book to take mandatory quizzes assigned by my professor), but it is also just so annoying to deal with when the book was already a very costly purchase.
