Duke University Press Sylvia Wynter
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[On] Being Human as Praxis is a major contribution to growing efforts to bring Sylvia Wynter’s critical thought to the fore of contemporary critical social theory. The collection secures Wynter’s status as a heretical intellectual insisting on the relevance of the radical Black/Caribbean decolonial tradition to the systemic crises of the early 21st century planet." -- Anthony Bayani Rodriguez * Antipode *"In their combination, and in their resonance with Wynter’s intricate and expansive opening meditation on race, science, and human being, these essays present a complex and coherent intellectual project, at once deeply rooted and generously rhizomic." -- Kaiama L.

Duke University Press Dear Science and Other Stories
Book SynopsisKatherine McKittrick presents a creative and rigorous study of black and anticolonial methodologies, exploring how narratives of imprecision and relationality interrupt knowledge systems that seek to observe, index, know, and discipline blackness.Trade Review“Drawing from black anticolonial thought and study, black poetics, music, and expressive arts, Katherine McKittrick's Dear Science and Other Stories is an experiment in materializing black method and black wonder in stories of black livingness and relation, in spite of conditions of racial colonial violence and antiblack science of maps, algorithms, and life chances. It insists on other sensoria, consciousness, creation, and knowing—a black sense of place.” -- Lisa Lowe, author of * The Intimacies of Four Continents *“Freedom is a place made through rehearsals of thought and human-environment inter-action. Katherine McKittrick's stories show geography in the making through their persistent refusal to recite empirics of suffering and catastrophe. What a gift to travel these surprising, complex paths through rage toward life. I am grateful for this book.” -- Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of * Change Everything! Racial Capitalism and the Case for Abolition *"In this innovative, rich work, Katherine McKittrick works tirelessly to make us aware of how Black thought is a form of knowledge production. McKittrick uses a fascinating essay structure — stories and letters to science — to discuss jazz, computer science, poetry, Black history, and more. It contains one of the most powerful analyses of scientific racism that I’ve read in recent times, arguing that sometimes our efforts to articulate race and racism as social phenomena actually reinforce the idea that they are somehow biological in nature." -- Chanda Prescod-Weinstein * Bookriot *"McKittrick’s prose is beautiful and timely, and she demonstrates that there is a cost to reducing Black life to any description without deep thought. Her readers—no matter their relationship to science—are pressed to question what we know, how we know, and who we know. Dear Science urges us to be cautious of a single narrative, to articulate our thoughts with exacting labor, and it provides insight into how we can create a universe beyond Black suffering." -- Edna Bonhomme * The Baffler *"Reading the richly poetic and sonically-driven Dear Science, we can see the many complex projects and thoughts of McKittrick’s work. The stories are citational observations and calls for a theory and method of storytelling and reading practice as a way to undo discipline (41), a reimagination of the academic text as a genre and incomplete visions of defining ‘science’. The text itself is artfully arranged, breaking from the conventional academic structure. . . ." -- Anna Nguyen * LSE Review of Books *"For those of us working inside, along, and through environmental studies, the environmental humanities, science studies, and all disciplines in between, Dear Science challenges us to confront the stories that our fields of study tell us about ourselves and the world around us and to consider what is possible if we center Black ways of knowing to imagine more equitable futures." -- Erin Gilbert and Leah Rubinsky * ISLE *"You are my black feminist answer to Borges and his short story, 'On Rigor in Science.' In the rigor and incisiveness of your stories you challenge and dismantle singular, unified, totalizing representations, narratives of classification and ways of knowing and being that discipline and punish, stifle, crush and suffocate. In their stead, you offer and practice relationality, generative collaborative praxis, black creative consciousness, method, and life. Thank you." -- Hazel Carby * Society and Space *"Dear Science is like no other scholarly book." -- Dina Georgis * Society and Space *"Dear Science and Other Stories is a one-of-a-kind,theoretical-practical-creative work that promises to intrigue, inspire, and question the reader, urging them toward new relational ways of thinking and living. It is a wonderful book, which encourages the reader to step out of their comfort zone and to explore interdisciplinary and cross-theory-making and art, in and through Black creativity and ‘livingness’, storytelling, and ways of knowing." -- Lena Anggren * Feminist Studies Association *"Katherine McKittrick's book about Black livingness and Black knowledge is a mind-altering and world-bending read that rarely leaves my side. I turn to it constantly, as a way to recognize the world that the Black studies tradition is constantly building. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in finding alternative ways of being and knowing rooted in abolition." -- Orlando Serrano * Smithsonian Magazine *"Refreshingly, Dear Science . . . [shows] what science misses in trying to define Black spiritual and corporeal existence. McKittrick urges Black studies thinkers to resist the hold of biocentric knowledge and to imagine ways of being and thinking that exist beyond and beside it." -- Cera Smith * The Black Scholar *"Dear Science is generous and expansive—disrupting normative disciplinary approaches often rehearsed in academic writing. It demands careful engagement and deep study. . . . Reading this book will, borrowing from Fanon, cause your heart to make your head swim." -- Jade How and Gada Mahrouse * Lateral *"Each exquisite sentence of Dear Science is comprised of layers of meaning. Still, McKittrick thought carefully about the importance of readability. . . . On each page of Dear Science, readers will find a reminder that Black (livingness) is beautiful, complex, and brilliant." -- Chanda Prescod-Weinstein * Catalyst *"Though McKittrick’s short book may seem humble, it offers a wide-ranging examination of both racist and liberatory methodologies. . . . To anyone working within Western academia, especially to those invested in anti-racist, feminist, and anti-colonial study, this book provides teachings, guidance, and support for re-examining one’s critical practices so they may better serve and imagine non-colonial futures." -- Tavleen Purewal * Letters in Canada *"By reading in and with black studies, Dear Science is a discipline-shattering love letter to the possibilities imbued in the black imagination." -- Ladipo Famodu & Temitope Famodu * Antipode *"McKittrick’s work, and Black Studies more broadly, are offering us a home, a safe space, outside, which is empowering and life-affirming and generous. I want us to applaud McKittrick’s work. I want us to celebrate and cherish and protect this place, outside, and to get lost in it." -- Lioba Hirsch * Antipode *Table of ContentsHe Liked to Say that This Love was the Result of a Clinical Error ix Curiosities (My Heart Makes My Head Swim) 1 Footnotes (Books and Papers Scattered about the Floor) 14 The Smallest Cell Remembers a Sound 35 Consciousness (Feeling like, Feeling like This) 58 Something That Exceeds All Efforts to Definitively Pin It Down 71 No Place, Unknown, Undetermined 75 Notes 79 Black Ecologies.

Book SynopsisAlmost from the moment of its publication in 1863, Nikolai Chernyshevsky's novel, What Is to Be Done?, had a profound impact on the course of Russian literature and politics. The idealized image it offered of dedicated and self-sacrificing intellectuals transforming society by means of scientific knowledge served as a model of inspiration for...Trade ReviewNo work in modern literature, with the possible exception of Uncle Tom's Cabin, can compete with What Is to Be Done? in its effect on human lives and its power to make history. For Chernyshevsky's novel, far more than Marx's Capital, supplied the emotional dynamic that eventually went to make the Russian Revolution. * The Southern Review *In the Russian revolutionary movement, no literary work can compare in importance with Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?.... Katz and Wagner have provided us with a version that is worthy of the novel's importance. Katz's translation is faithful to the original, yet cast in words that bring Chernyshevsky's meaning alive to modern readers.... Wagner, in turn, provides abundant notes, explaining obscure references, making connections between parts of the novel that could easily be missed on first reading, and alerting the reader to those many passages where Chernyshevksy hinted at what he could not say outright. * Russian History *

Duke University Press Indifference
Book SynopsisNaisargi N. Davé examines the complex worlds of animalists and animalism in India, arguing for an interspecies relationality premised on indifference: that is, an orientation of mutual regard rather than curiosity, love, desire, or animus.Trade Review“Naisargi N. Davé is one of the most sophisticated, imaginative, and interdisciplinarily literate scholars of animality, activism on behalf of animals, animal slaughter, queerness, and postcolonial South Asia that I know. There is practically no one else to whom she can be compared for the counterintuitive turns of her thought and the spellbinding character of her ethnography. Not surprisingly, then, Indifference is a work of considerable consequence.” -- Parama Roy, author of * Alimentary Tracts: Appetites, Aversions, and the Postcolonial *“Naisargi N. Davé offers a deeply moving exploration of the vital political work of ‘indifference’ as a mobilizing dehumanist force in this world. Davé brings us through animal activism and sacrifice with candor and extraordinary care. A riveting ethnography of immense beauty and force; I would follow her anywhere.” -- Julietta Singh, author of * Unthinking Mastery: Dehumanism and Decolonial Entanglements *Table of ContentsIntroduction: What Is Indifference? 1 1.
