This collection explores those questions and manifests a world where Black, queer, and trans people get to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596437274860,"sku":"9781646052639","price":49.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781646052639-freedom-house.jpg?v=1777925406"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kb-brookins.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
