"Thoroughly ambitious, philosophically rich, and rigorously interdisciplinary, Autochthonomies is a worthwhile read. . . . From the onset, it is clear that this book is far from a convention study of African diasporic cultures." --New West Indian Review "A richly layered and thought-provoking text. . . . Chancy seeks to reorientate the academic lens through which African diasporic cultures are viewed." --Ethnic and Racial Studies "The strength of this volume lies in the author's detailed textual analyses, both of works that fall short of centering the epistemologies and ontologies of black people and of those that do so effectively. . . . Recommended." --Choice In its critique of Western rationality, Enlightenment categories, and hierarchical orderings, this book makes a significant contribution. Chancy uses race and gender theory in smart and provocative ways. Her elucidation of difficult texts and contexts is clear and convincing. The research is well presented, the arguments well developed, and the conclusions intellectually satisfying.-FranĒoise Lionnet, author of Writing Women and Critical Dialogues: Subjectivity, Gender, and Irony
