Beskrivning
The contributors to this volume assert the importance of queer kinship to queer and trans theory and to kinship theory. In a contemporary moment marked by the rising tides of neoliberalism, fascism, xenophobia, and homo- and cis-nationalism, they approach kinship as both a horizon and a source of violence and possibility. The contributors challenge dominant theories of kinship that ignore the devastating impacts of chattel slavery, settler colonialism, and racialized nationalism on the bonds of Black and Indigenous people and people of color. Among other topics, they examine the “blood tie” as the legal marker of kin relations, the everyday experiences and memories of trans mothers and daughters in Istanbul, the outsourcing of reproductive labor in postcolonial India, kinship as a model of governance beyond the liberal state, and the intergenerational effects of the adoption of Indigenous children as a technology of settler colonialism. Queer Kinship pushes the methodological and theoretical underpinnings of queer theory forward while opening up new paths for studying kinship.Contributors.

Recensioner i media

"The book is primarily an important creative and analytic contribution to contemporary queer, trans, critical race and kinship theory. Nevertheless, it is also of value for those who explore narratives and form as well as belonging and heritage 'beyond' kinship relations. As Weston illuminates, when exploring kinship, it can, if we are open to it, take us on unexpected routes." - Rebecka Rehnström (Anthropology Book Forum) "Queer Kinship constitutes a remarkable achievement. Highly readable,theoretically rigorous and exemplary in its commitment to decentring colonial epistemologies, this collection stands to make a seminal contribution to queer and kinship studies. . . . Queer Kinship elicits that most elusive of sensations in the reader: excitement." - Ry Montgomery (LSE Review of Books) "With its ambitious, international scope, Queer Kinship is an informative resource for anyone researching the political issues revolving around nonheteronormative kinships in different cultural contexts. Its unbiased treatment of sensitive issues guides us to think clearly about the reinvention of kinships in this century and how heteronormativity influences our lives still. Queer Kinship is a read that is engaging because of its honesty and introspective take on issues that impact queer and minoritized communities today." - Xin Ying Lim (Journal of Gender Studies)
