🍎WHEN WE ARE KIN by Kyle T. Mays

🍏A bold vision for a Black and Indigenous future rooted in real solidarity, a future that exists beyond the confines of the liberal imagination

Current advocates of reparations for slavery and land back often fail to scrutinize racial capitalism and settler colonialism, instead accepting that their destinies will forever be tied to US empire. But as scholar Kyle T. Mays insists in When We Are Kin, we can and should demand a kind of repair that goes beyond a white supremacist idea of what justice can be.

In a series of short essays, Mays traces the history of alliances between Black and Indigenous movements; outlines the limitations of certain demands for reparations, including cash payments, that do not fundamentally critique racial-settler capitalism; and interrogates contemporary land back initiatives that fail to fully address decolonization. Along the way, he asks, What does solidarity look like between Black and Indigenous peoples in the United States? Can we find ways to co-belong and co-resist on Turtle Island?

Drawing on the Anishinaabe philosophy of mino-bimaadiziwin (the good life), Mays argues that we can resist as kin only when we center the land in building our collective futures.

💜Chucheria Zine Bookclub is back!!! Join us on May 13th at 6:30pm for zine making and community
💛The zine pick is Q***R MEDITATIONS FOR DARK TIMES, zine avaliable NOW at Libélula
💙a bit about the zine: How can you embrace your most expansive, authentic life when the world’s hostility is always shoving you into fight or flight? Trauma specialist, multidimensional artist, and magickal practitioner Rosśa Crean draws upon their work with clients and their own experience with abuse and recovery in this powerful selection of reflections, prompts, and musings to support others navigating dark times. Each meditation is designed to help achieve a sense of calm, clarity, and perspective, allowing you to be the recipient of your own nurturing. Whether navigating the idea of “self-fullness,” learning about Internal Family Systems, embracing the lessons of anger, or getting better acquainted with your shadows, the meditations in this zine warmly invite you to pause, reflect, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of your q***r identity. Embrace this transformative journey with open arms and an optimistic heart!
💚 Can’t wait to see everyone!
