Pointing out that presumptions of solidarity, antagonism, or incommensurability between Black and Native communities are insufficient to understand the relationships between the groups, the volume''s scholars, artists, and activists look to articulate new modes of living and organizing in the service of creating new futures. Among other topics, they examine the ontological status of Blackness and Indigeneity, possible forms of relationality between Black and Native communities, perspectives on Black and Indigenous sociality, and freeing the flesh from the constraints of violence and settler colonialism. Throughout the volume''s essays, art, and interviews, the contributors carefully attend to alternative kinds of relationships between Black and Native communities that can lead toward libe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ambitious, theoretically sophisticated, and timely, \u003ci\u003eOtherwise Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e stages a much-needed conversation between Black studies and Native studies as they interface with critical race theory and gender and queer theory while significantly advancing the discourses around racialized being, anti-blackness, Indigeneity, and settler colonialism.” -- Alexander G.

It has the potential to serve as a model of decolonial love in the academy and in our communities.” -- Michelle Jacob, author of * Indian Pilgrims: Indigenous Journeys of Activism and Healing with Saint Kateri Tekakwitha *\u003cbr\u003e\"There is so much to admire about this book. I am making my way through each section slowly. Artists, activists and scholars frame the questions, complexities and possibilities an 'otherwise' orientation might open up, if we find better and better ways of ‘thinking of, caring for and talking to one another’ about the ongoing effects of genocide, colonialism, enslavement and anti-Blackness.\" -- Julia Guez * Houston Chronicle *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eOtherwise Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e offers a thought-provoking guide towards re-imagining the presence, resurgence and future of Black and Indigenous life…. \u003ci\u003eOtherwise Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding piece of academic work and a remarkable guide to approaching alternative worlds beyond racism, ecological destruction and racial capitalism.” -- Laura Mariana Reyes * Cultural Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“This collection is truly a conversation between disciplines and paves the way for new ways of relating to one another. \u003ci\u003eOtherwise Worlds \u003c\/i\u003eis a compelling collection that does what it sets out to do.” -- Alina Scott * E3W Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eOtherwise Worlds \u003c\/i\u003eis a call to think beyond ourselves and curate an authentic relation to the scholarship, the land, and mainly the people.
