Praise for UNRULY
"In this immensely powerful work, Antoinette Cooper traces her own encounters with the U.S.'s medical industrial complex, necessarily writing a larger history of Black women's health and the catastrophic legacies of state violence that continue to be perpetrated and perpetuated today. Cooper writes her story into a gathering place--an essential, vibrant text of reckoning and testimony. She makes a critical intervention, a ceremony, and a tool for our present. A brilliant, needed language which ruptures silences and writes us into its choirs."
