About this product
Product Information
This edited collection examines the central role that webs of kinship and families play in the fiction of N.K. Jemisin, arguing that they ca function as centers of resistance, means of oppression, or both. In doing so, Jemisin's work challenges readers to re-imagine the intimate relations of their present.

Reviews
Readers of N. K. Jemisin's novels and essays know her as a fiercely intelligent observer and compelling storyteller. This wide-ranging collection is unified by its focus on Jemisin's portrayals of kinship, a thread that runs through her work, including the multiple award-winning Broken Earth trilogy. In Jemisin's fiction, family can be the worst enemy, and nonhuman entities can be our most important kin. Editors Bonnevier and Åström have brought together a distinguished group of contributors who invite us to read and ponder Jemisin's sometimes scathing, always fascinating vision of humanity in all its relationships., Kinship in the Fiction of N.K. Jemisin is a valuable contribution to the growing body of Jemisin scholarship. This collection puts sf--which is interested in nonhuman encounters, transformations, and identities--in contact with the political, sociocultural, and ecological questions of what it means to be kin. I believe this book will appeal to experts in and beginners to discussions of sf, kinship, and responsibility to diverse identities in and beyond the work of Jemisin., Readers of N. K.
