This book opens a discussion on bodies, gender, and decolonial horizons, subjects that are increasingly becoming a political front in the search for justice. It offers an in-depth look at the positions and current developments in decolonial theory, Black Marxism, trans* studies, and contemporary performance research and practice. The focus is on decolonial theory and trans* bodies, bringing forth a discussion of otherness shaped by race, class, and trans*. What kind of body, movement, and politics can be conceived to attack the neoliberal current with its accelerated digital changes and seemingly dispersed, but in reality hyper-flexible, bureaucratic controls?
