Franklin makes a critical intervention into practices of life writing and contemporary crises in the United States about who counts as human. To enable this intervention, she proposes a powerful new analytical language centered on \"narrative humanity,\" \"narrated humanity,\" and \"grounded narrative humanity\" and foregrounds concepts of the human that emerge from movement politics. While stories of \"narrative humanity\" propagate the status quo, Franklin argues, those of \"narrated humanity\" and \"grounded narrative humanity\" are ones that articulate ways of being human necessary for not only surviving but also thriving during a time of accelerating crises brought on by the intersecting effects of racial capitalism, imperialism, heteropatriarchy, and climate change.\u003cbr\u003e Through chapters focused on Hurricane Katrina; Black Lives Matter; the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement; and the Native Hawaiian movement to protect Mauna a Wākea, Franklin reveals how life writing can be mobilized to do more than perpetuate dominant forms of dehumanization that underwrite violence. She contends that life narratives can help materialize ways of being human inspired by these contemporary political movements that are based on queer kinship, inter\/national solidarity, abolitionist care, and decolonial connectivity among humans, more-than-humans, land, and waters. Engaging writers, artists, and activists who inspire radical forms of relationality, she comes to write side-by-side with them in her own acts of narrated humanity by refusing the boundaries between autobiography, community-based activism, and literary and cultural criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: The Human in Crisis   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART I: NARRATIVE HUMANITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eLove and Terror: Formulas of Citizenship in \u003ci\u003eZeitoun \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTrouble the Water \u003c\/i\u003e  33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eCriminals and Kinship: \u003ci\u003eFruitvale Station\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBetween the World \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand Me\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e and Black Selfhood in the Age of BLM   68\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART II: NARRATED HUMANITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eFrom Movement to Memoir: \u003ci\u003eWhen They Call You a Terrorist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and the Power of Queer Black Kinship   109\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003e\"Nursing Visions of the Unimagined\": BDS and Steven Salaita's\u003cbr\u003e World-Making Narratives of Fatherhood, Affiliation, and Freedom   144\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART III: NARRATED HUMANITY AND GROUNDED NARRATIVE HUMANITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003e\"E Hū ē\" (Rising Like a Mighty Wave): Mauna Kea and the Movement beyond the Human   187\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePostscript\u003c\/b\u003e: Hope, Joy, and \"The Struggle for Ea\"   231\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  237\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/i\u003e   255\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  283\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619264753944,"sku":"9781531503727","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/narrating-humanity-life-writing-and-movement-politics-from-palestine-to-mauna-kea-hardback-9781531503727","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
