This edited collection applies kinship as an analytical concept to
better understand the affective economies, discursive practices,
and aesthetic dimensions through which cultural narratives of
belonging establish a sense of intimacy and affiliation. In North
American and European ethnic literatures, kinship has several
social functions: negotiating diasporic belonging in and outside of
the perimeters of bloodlines and genealogy; positioning
queer-feminist interventions to counter ethno-nationalist
narratives of belonging; challenging liberal sentimentalist
narratives, such as those grafted onto the bodies of transnational
adoptees; re-formulating cultural heterogeneity through interracial
and interethnic kinship constellations outside either post-racial
assumptions about colorblindness or celebrations of racial and
ethnic pluralism. In all of these cases, kinship features as a
common theme through which contemporary authors attend to
challenges of conscribing individuals into inclusive,
counter-hegemonic cultural narratives of belonging.
