Description

In Trans Exploits Jian Neo Chen explores the cultural practices created by trans and gender-nonconforming artists and activists of color. They argue for a radical rethinking of the policies and technologies of racial gendering and assimilative social programming that have divided LGBT communities and communities of color along the lines of gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, and ability. Focusing on performance, film/video, literature, digital media, and other forms of cultural expression and activism that track the displaced emergences of trans people of color, Chen highlights the complex and varied responses by trans communities to their social dispossession. Through these responses, trans of color cultural workers such as performance artist Yozmit, writer Janet Mock, and organizer Jennicet Gutierrez challenge dominating perceptions and institutions that kill, confine, police, and discipline trans people.

Acknowledgments

Although this book was conceived, written, and produced during a ﬁve-year time span concentrated within the academic world, it has been shaped by a longer and wider scope of learning and engagement. Most of all, I want to thank the artists, organizers, and scholars whose work I have only been able to highlight in the book and whose imaginations and labor have enabled me to create and build points of description, connection, and context. The many people and groups whose work I was not able to discuss in this limited collection of writings, although they have contributed to my thinking and growth in relationship to trans, queer, feminist, disability, and racial justice movement building and cultures, include, among others, Christopher Lee, Tamara Ching, Bamby Salcedo, Chandi Moore, Emi Koyama, Ignacio Rivera, Ryka Aoki, Lexi Nepantla Adsit, Pauline Park, Kortney Ryan Ziegler, Amita Swadin, Andy Marra, Ola Osaze, Cecilia Gentilli, Ashlee Marie Preston, Kay Ulanday Barrett, Trish Salah, D’Lo, Kai M. Green, Leeroy Kun Young Kang, Imani Henry, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Pablo Espinoza, Willy Wilkinson, Kit Yan, Kris Hayashi, Alex Lee, Chino Scott-Chung, Ryan Li Dahlstrom, Elliott Fukui, Aren Aizura, Janani Balasubramanian, Alok Vaid-Menon, Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Ren-yo Hwang, the Trans Women of Color Collective, the Audre Lorde Project, Sylvia Rivera Project, Translatina Net-work, Peacock Rebellion, Queer Rebels, Fresh Meat Productions, the Trans-gender Law Center, and El/La Para TransLatinas. I am deeply grateful to Duke University Press series editors Jasbir Puar and Mel Y. Chen and executive editor Courtney Berger for trusting, support-ing, and guiding my unfolding work from inception to completion. I thank editorial associate Sandra Korn, project editor Susan Albury, designer Court-ney Baker, and copywriter Chris Robinson for their artistry, work, and pa-tience in materializing this book.
