Description

Dear Science and Other Stories by Katherine McKittrick presents a creative and rigorous study of black and anticolonial methodologies. Drawing on various disciplines, including black studies, cultural geography, and black feminism, McKittrick explores how narratives of imprecision and relationality can interrupt knowledge systems that seek to observe, index, know, and discipline blackness. Through her analysis of texts from intellectuals and artists, McKittrick reveals the potential of storytelling as a strategy of invention and collaboration. She draws on a range of methods, including citational practices, theoretical frameworks, and interdisciplinary codes such as curiosity, wonder, and poetry. By examining these approaches, McKittrick suggests that black life and livingness can be seen as rebellious methodologies in themselves. This book offers a unique perspective on the ways in which knowledge systems intersect with black experiences, and how storytelling can be used to challenge and subvert dominant narratives.
