I found myself with an entirely new set of questions about my own theorizing, feminism, and prejudices in regard to not only decolonial and gender studies, but my family history as well. While \u003ci\u003eArchive of Tongues\u003c\/i\u003e is deeply personal, it productively unsettles what much of Western feminism continues to take for granted, if not reify, about women in the Global South, Pakistani women, brown women, and migrant women. This book will be so important to feminist, decolonial, and transnational thinkers and writers as a coming-of-age feminist diasporic perspective on grappling with gendered and raced intergenerational trauma and violence.” -- Jasbir K. Puar, author of * The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eArchive of Tongues\u003c\/i\u003e is lively, taut, and wickedly smart. Moon Charania unflinchingly guides the reader through biographical, anecdotal, and theoretical interventions. The stakes of her project are major: the reorientation and decolonization of knowledge. Making tangible the depth and instability of bodily\/lived knowledge, this compelling book will contribute to psychoanalysis, critical ethnic studies, women of color feminisms, queer studies, and affect studies.” -- Amber Jamilla Musser, author of * Sensual Excess: Queer Femininity and Brown Jouissance *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  ix\u003cbr\u003e Gratitudes  xv\u003cbr\u003e Prologue  xxi\u003cbr\u003e Introduction.
