Kindred Creation
批評家のレビュー
"The parables in Kindred Creation show us the light on the walk of life."
—Nikki Giovanni, author and seven time NAACP Image award winner
"This book is a powerful testimony to the richness of African and Black knowledges. Both inspiring and poignant, Davis takes an incisive look at the past and invites us to reclaim our interconnectedness. A must read!" —Anna Tubbs, author of New York Times bestseller Three Mothers
"Writer, leader, visionary, and storyteller, Aida Mariam Davis, has turned centuries of accumulated knowledge and wisdom from the victims of settler colonialism into a lyrical, audacious appeal to decolonize everything in order to preserve and repair our planet. A vital contribution that needs to be translated into every language." —Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
あらすじ・解説
A vital path home. Employing African epistemologies and an embodied African beingness, this book embraces the revelation and miracle of Blackness.
Creating a world worthy of our children requires recalling the dignity and distinction of the African way of life.
This book is not written for settler consumption. Kindred Creation is a call and response to dream and design better worlds rooted in African lifeways: a path to Black freedom, a love letter to Black futures, and a blueprint to intergenerational Black joy and dignity—all (and always) on Black terms.
Author, organizer, and designer Aida Mariam Davis explores the historical and ongoing impacts of settler colonialism, making explicit the ways that extraction, oppression, and enslavement serve the goals of empire—not least by severing ancestral connections and disrupting profound and ancient relationships to self, nature, and community.
Structured in three parts—Remember, Refuse, and Reclaim—Kindred Creation is a philosophical guidebook and a vital invitation to power and reconnection. Davis employs parable, poetry, theory, memory, narrative, and prophecy to help listeners:
- Remember: By unforgetting the unending and cascading violence of settler colonialism and other forms of domination and exploring the ways that African land, language, lifestyle, and labor are stolen, distorted, and repackaged for colonial consumption to extract capital and sever ties to ancestral knowledge, lifeways, and dignity
- Refuse: By rejecting and interrupting death-making institutions and relationships and choosing kinship and self-determination in the face of settler colonial violence
- Reclaim: By revealing that freedom is within us—and within reach. Davis shares how the listener can birth new worlds and relationships and offers strategies for reclaiming land, language, lifestyle, and labor.
The colonial violence and dispossession of African land, language, and labor is inflicted intentionally—and by design. Reclaiming African lifeways and remembering what was forcibly forgotten must be by creation: a remembering of our interconnectedness and kinship.
