In Dear Science and Other Stories Katherine McKittrick presents a
creative and rigorous study of black and anticolonial
methodologies. Drawing on black studies, studies of race, cultural
geography, and black feminism as well as a mix of methods,
citational practices, and theoretical frameworks, she positions
black storytelling and stories as strategies of invention and
collaboration. She analyzes a number of texts from intellectuals
and artists ranging from Sylvia Wynter to the electronica band
Drexciya to explore how narratives of imprecision and relationality
interrupt knowledge systems that seek to observe, index, know, and
discipline blackness. Throughout, McKittrick offers curiosity,
wonder, citations, numbers, playlists, friendship, poetry, inquiry,
song, grooves, and anticolonial chronologies as interdisciplinary
codes that entwine with the academic form. Suggesting that black
life and black livingness are, in themselves, rebellious
methodologies, McKittrick imagines without totally disclosing the
ways in which black intellectuals invent ways of living outside
prevailing knowledge systems.
