Holland pulls at the ways that blackness as ontology and epistemology undoes and ethically remakes the bio\/zoopolitical distinction between animals and humans. She remakes the very ideas that underline life itself as a human project that both denies and relies on animality: love, death, knowing, being, and ultimately revolution as it happens on the scale of the ordinary and the everyday. An essential volume.” -- Kyla Wazana Tompkins, author of * Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the Nineteenth Century *\u003cbr\u003e“Sharon Patricia Holland’s \u003ci\u003ean other\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful, expansive, rich, and genius gift to a world that could not have anticipated it. Her work at the level of the animal and cohabitation and about relationality and comportment is assuredly a necessary and brilliant offering. Holland’s enormous intervention cannot be overstated. Black studies will not be the same after this book.” -- Sarah Jane Cervenak, author of * Black Gathering: Art, Ecology, Ungiven Life *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to Read This Book  xi\u003cbr\u003e Primer: What the Animal Said  xv\u003cbr\u003e 1.
