Invited to such a challenging field, the stories in this book carefully labor across a heterogeneity of forms of life and nonlife to reshuffle biological, political, and historical boundaries and creatively open possibility for a plethora of interconnected differences, pragmatic boundaries without a center. Caring for the Earth as Country, this artfully crafted collection meets Rose’s most urgent demand: becoming a witness of death that asserts life through an ethical practice that is always already ecological.” -- Marisol de la Cadena, author of * Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds *\u003cbr\u003e\"Rose’s thought is timely now more than ever. This collection is a testimony to the vitality of their work for the present and challenges ahead that will involve relearning to be one among lifescapes of other beings rather than a social atom.\" -- Christopher Blakley * Science as Culture *\u003cbr\u003e\"I was provoked and challenged by the diversity of this collection. . . .\" -- David Moore * Indigenous Religious Traditions *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorlds of Kin: An Introduction \/ Thom Van Dooren and Matthew Chrulew  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
