QUEER NECROPOLITICS is a collection of brilliantly astute and
bravely explorative essays that animate and bring to life the
remains and casualties of state strategies of abandonment, of wars
without end, and of bare lives. Refusing the mere documentarian
tasks of a scholar, the authors exhort readers to bring themselves
to uncomfortable and disturbing yet productive engagements with the
messy collisions of race, sexuality, and violent dispossessions in
various queer sites, times and orientations of forms of
"subjugations of life to the power of death." A landmark
contribution.
----Martin F. Manalansan IV, Associate Professor of Anthropology
and Asian American Studies and author of Global Divas: Filipino Gay
Men in the Diaspora By exhuming the death-worlds that produce some
forms of vitality as little more than remaindered life, Queer
Necorpolitics brilliantly performs the work of imagining a politics
beyond the political. This collection is precisely the kind of
theory we need—it offers thick descriptions and insurgent analysis
through a rigorous indictment of the neoliberal present. These
writers push us beyond the page and toward a practice of abolishing
the various iterations of capture, colonization, and liquidation so
that more might flourish under the banner of collective
liberation.
---Eric A. Stanley, co-editor of Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment
and the Prison Industrial Complex
Sharp, timely, and necessary, Queer Necropolitics explores the
contemporary terrain of queer politics not to ask, "who has been
left out", but "what remains" to build a queer analytics after the
absorption of women?s, gay and transgender politics into a
discourse of rights, protection and diversity. Queer Necropolitics
answers not by sifting out every more fine identities and entities
but by analyzing new differentials of disposable being in the
ordinary seams of everyday life.
---Elizabeth Povinelli, the author of The Empire of Love: Toward a
Theory of Intimacy, Geneology, and Carnality and Economies of
Abandonment: Social Belonging and Endurance in Late Liberalism
