“Ambitious, theoretically sophisticated, and timely, Otherwise Worlds stages a much-needed conversation between Black studies and Native studies as they interface with critical race theory and gender and queer theory while significantly advancing the discourses around racialized being, anti-blackness, Indigeneity, and settler colonialism.”
~Alexander G. Weheliye, author of, Habeas Viscus: Racializing Assemblages, Biopolitics, and Black Feminist Theories of the Human
“Presenting new analyses and theorizations of the intersections and tensions between Black studies and Native studies, Otherwise Worlds shows how these fields can speak and think with each other. It has the potential to serve as a model of decolonial love in the academy and in our communities.”
~Michelle Jacob, author of, Indian Pilgrims: Indigenous Journeys of Activism and Healing with Saint Kateri Tekakwitha
"There is so much to admire about this book. I am making my way through each section slowly. Artists, activists and scholars frame the questions, complexities and possibilities an 'otherwise' orientation might open up, if we find better and better ways of ‘thinking of, caring for and talking to one another’ about the ongoing effects of genocide, colonialism, enslavement and anti-Blackness."
~Julia Guez, Houston Chronicle
“Otherwise Worlds offers a thought-provoking guide towards re-imagining the presence, resurgence and future of Black and Indigenous life…. Otherwise Worlds is an outstanding piece of academic work and a remarkable guide to approaching alternative worlds beyond racism, ecological destruction and racial capitalism.”
~Laura Mariana Reyes, Cultural Studies
“This collection is truly a conversation between disciplines and paves the way for new ways of relating to one another. Otherwise Worlds is a compelling collection that does what it sets out to do.”
~Alina Scott, E3W Review of Books
“Otherwise Worlds is a call to think beyond ourselves and curate an authentic relation to the scholarship, the land, and mainly the people. A major takeaway from each interview, essay, and artwork in this volume is the range of interdisciplinarity needed to capture the complexity of this discourse of sovereignty and liberation across the diaspora.”
~Daisy E. Guzman Nunez, NACLA Report on the Americas
