ABSTRACT

It’s truly an honor to be invited to write some after-words about what lies beyond settler colonialism as imagined through the knowledges and practices of the prior, which is to say those who existed and flourished before settler state formation: Indigenous and Black peoples. It feels even more fortuitous to write these words in a book where the central feature is relationality and not the more typical, temporal markers of “moments and movements” (Keene, this volume). Thus, while these words may come after, they are neither last nor final but rather situated alongside the already in-motion ideas of this book as well as the Black and Indigenous thinkers who have long led the work of connecting theory to revolutionary practice.
