Contributors to this special issue explore feminist articulations
of mourning that are anchored in slavery, settler occupation,
colonialism, migration, and the violence of modern national states.
The authors perceive mourning not as a process of individualized
grief to be worked through or overcome but as a collective
condition that encompasses historical consciousness and
contemporary collective action. Essays in the issue cover mourning
the mother tongue in Toni Morrison's A Mercy, the aesthetics and
politics of brown and queer sorrow, Palestinian reflections on
death, poems from a lesbian diasporic body, mother loss in Harriet
E. Wilson's Our Nig, Black maternal necropolitics, and more. By
acknowledging the spaces and temporalities in which various
manifestations of death abound and by examining mourning as both
lineages and possibilities of loss and grief, the authors theorize
mourning as an orientation to the world where the past, present,
and imminent futures are not dead or destined but contain the
potentialities for lives that were and are yet to be. Contributors.
