Reviews
“The Politics of Kinship is a new and exciting contribution to the field that raises productive questions about the relationship and distinction between family and kinship. As part of his larger project, developing a queer critique of settler colonialism, Mark Rifkin here homes in on discourses of family and kinship to examine how these conversations have often elided underlying questions of governance and sovereignty.”
-- Manu Karuka, author of Empire’s Tracks: Indigenous Nations, Chinese Workers, and the Transcontinental Railroad
“Distinctly and importantly drawing on Indigenous intellectual frames in order to rethink racialization in the United States, Mark Rifkin makes a powerful contribution to the robust body of scholarship on family, kinship, and race. The Politics of Kinship is a fantastic book.”
-- Jennifer C. Nash, author of How We Write Now: Living with Black Feminist Theory
