In The Black Shoals Tiffany Lethabo King uses the shoal-an offshore
geologic formation that is neither land nor sea-as metaphor, mode
of critique, and methodology to theorize the encounter between
Black studies and Native studies. King conceptualizes the shoal as
a space where Black and Native literary traditions, politics,
theory, critique, and art meet in productive, shifting, and
contentious ways. These interactions, which often foreground Black
and Native discourses of conquest and critiques of humanism, offer
alternative insights into understanding how slavery,
anti-Blackness, and Indigenous genocide structure white supremacy.
Among texts and topics, King examines eighteenth-century British
mappings of humanness, Nativeness, and Blackness; Black feminist
depictions of Black and Native erotics; Black fungibility as a
critique of discourses of labor exploitation; and Black art that
rewrites conceptions of the human. In outlining the convergences
and disjunctions between Black and Native thought and aesthetics,
King identifies the potential to create new epistemologies, lines
of critical inquiry, and creative practices.
