An Other by Sharon Patricia Holland
Sharon Patricia Holland thinks through the human animal divide by shifting focus from distinction toward relation in ways that acknowledge that humans are also animals and spotlighting those moments when Black people ethically relate with animals.
“With her characteristic brilliance and speculative flair, Sharon Patricia Holland breaks new ground in an other, a book that will prove to be her most philosophical and speculative text yetHolland 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 *
“Sharon Patricia Holland’s an other 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 *
