Visitation

In Visitation, Jennifer DeClue shows how Black feminist avant-garde filmmakers draw from historical archives in order to visualize and reckon with violence suffered by Black women in the United States. DeClue argues that these filmmakers—including Kara Walker, Kara Lynch, Tourmaline, and Ja’Tovia Gary—create spaces of mourning and reckoning rather than voyeurism and pornotropy. Through their use of editing, performance, and cinematic experimentation, these filmmakers intervene in the production of Blackness and activate new ways of seeing Black women and telling their stories. Theorizing these films as a form of conjure work, DeClue shows how these filmmakers raise the specters of Black women from the past and invite them to reveal history from their point of view. In so doing, Black feminist avant-garde filmmakers channel spirits that haunt archives and create cinematic arenas for witnessing Black women battling for survival during pivotal and exceedingly violent moments in US history.

Otherwise Worlds

The contributors to Otherwise Worlds investigate the complex relationships between settler colonialism and anti-Blackness to explore the political possibilities that emerge from such inquiries. Pointing out that presumptions of solidarity, antagonism, or incommensurability between Black and Native communities are insufficient to understand the relationships between the groups, the volume's scholars, artists, and activists look to articulate new modes of living and organizing in the service of creating new futures. Among other topics, they examine the ontological status of Blackness and Indigeneity, possible forms of relationality between Black and Native communities, perspectives on Black an...

In 1984, the students at Tear Falls High School in Northern Ontario were terrorized by a group of four bullies who used any means possible to exert control over their peers. Their favorite targets were four best friends—Kevin, Doug, Art, and Nelson—and the abuse was relentless. Nearly forty years later, Kevin has died by suicide and Doug is diagnosed with a fatal disease. Now living in Southern Ontario, the three men try to move forward with an exciting new business venture, but the trauma of these recent events causes old, high school memories to resurface. How much did the abuse impact who the men became? Have they overcome their anger and their shame? One day, the men read in the newspaper that one of their high school bullies has been murdered. Hamilton detective Tim Bennet begins to investigate, uncovering a disturbing detail about the way the victim died. In a matter of months, a second and then a third bully is murdered. Who is executing these men, and why are they leaving such an alarming calling card? Is there time to catch the killer and save the fourth man in the group of bullies . . . the kingpin? Or will his death finally bring closure?
