In "Beyond the Frame," Neferti Xina M. Tadiar illuminates the visual worlds of women of color. From fashion ads to cosmetic surgery, these images shape identities, challenge oppression, and spark radical consciousness. Tadiar's incisive analysis digs beneath the surface, exposing the social and political forces at play. As readers traverse this visual landscape, they discover how marginalized women wield the power of the image to assert their humanity and fight for liberation.
