Abstract
Abstract: “Trans*-itional Longings” argues that the neglected Black Arts Movement writer Rosa Guy traces out a model of trans* Black childhood in her essays and fiction that is informed by the materiality and lived experience of antiblack necropolitics in “ghetto” ecologies.

In her essays and fiction, Guy witnesses that the trans* Black child of Harlem is a figure of improvisational Black aliveness “trans-itioning” into alternative Black futures.
