“Deborah Bird Rose created an expansive scholarly field underpinned by interconnections, the affirmation of life, and love and responsibility as analytics. Invited to such a challenging field, the stories in this book carefully labor across a heterogeneity of forms of life and nonlife to reshuffle biological, political, and historical boundaries and creatively open possibility for a plethora of interconnected differences, pragmatic boundaries without a center. Caring for the Earth as Country, this artfully crafted collection meets Rose’s most urgent demand: becoming a witness of death that asserts life through an ethical practice that is always already ecological.” - Marisol de la Cadena, author of Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds

“Thom van Dooren and Matthew Chrulew have gathered in Kin some of the deepest and most creative posthumanist scholars of our times. A remarkable body of scholarship, the essays are at once odes to Deborah Bird Rose’s profound ethical approach to thought and exemplary works of thought in their own right.” - Elizabeth A. Povinelli, author of Between Gaia and Ground: Four Axioms of Existence and the Ancestral Catastrophe of Late Liberalism

"Rose’s thought is timely now more than ever. This collection is a testimony to the vitality of their work for the present and challenges ahead that will involve relearning to be one among lifescapes of other beings rather than a social atom." - Christopher Blakley, Science as Culture

"I was provoked and challenged by the diversity of this collection. . . ." - David Moore, Indigenous Religious Traditions
