[-empyre-] empyre Digest, Vol154, Issue 4 (Joline Blais)

[margaretha haughwout]

Hello all,

Thank you William and Joline for your recent posts. To add to the
conceptions of kinship articulated here, and that perhaps come to us most
familiarly from Haraway, I'd love to share Kim TallBear's work on queer
kinship. TallBear conceives of queer kinship as a kind of solidarity for
non-indigenous work in the struggle for decolonization. A partial network,
perhaps; one that acknowledges efforts and connections, but that also keeps
indigenous identity squarely with folks who live and struggle within an
indigenous context -- often on reservations, and whose relations have
endured the brutal legacy of colonization.

This interview is a great listen:
