In an other, Sharon Patricia Holland offers a new theorization of
the human animal/divide by shifting focus from distinction toward
relation in ways that acknowledge that humans are also animals.
Holland centers ethical commitments over ontological concerns to
spotlight those moments when Black people ethically relate with
animals. Drawing on writers and thinkers ranging from Hortense
Spillers, Sara Ahmed, Toni Morrison, and C. E. Morgan to Jane
Bennett, Jacques Derrida, and Donna Haraway, Holland decenters the
human in Black feminist thought to interrogate blackness,
insurgence, flesh, and femaleness. She examines MOVE’s
incarnation as an animal liberation group; uses sovereignty in
Morrison’s A Mercy to understand blackness, indigeneity, and the
animal; analyzes Charles Burnett’s films as commentaries on the
place of animals in Black life; and shows how equestrian novels
address Black and animal life in ways that rehearse the practices
of the slavocracy. By focusing on doing rather than being, Holland
demonstrates that Black life is not solely likened to animal life;
it is relational and world-forming with animal lives.
