"Black Feminism Reimagined: After Intersectionality" by Jennifer C. Nash.
It discusses many things, but among them, the affect of defensiveness from black feminists due to continual co-option of intersectionality. (This book is divisive and I want to talk about it with people!)

“Ricanness: Enduring Time in Anticolonial Performance” by Sandra Ruiz.
A wonderful performance studies text that challenges the notions of temporality, specifically as it relates to understandings and subsequent performances of Ricanness and Brownness in America.
