In Sensorium by Tanaïs
Notes for My People
A lush, hybrid memoir and cultural history that uses scent as a portal into memory, lineage, and political consciousness, tracing migrations from South Asia to the United States and the legacies of colonialism, war, and gendered violence. Through vignettes tethered to perfumes and botanicals, it braids desire, faith, queerness, and the pleasures of making with an inquiry into surveillance, Islamophobia, and the body’s knowledge. The result is an intimate meditation on belonging and resistance, inviting readers to smell their way through histories that linger on the skin.
