Abstract

donna honarpisheh The essays in this special issue unfold at the dynamic intersections of race and diaspora in a global context. A concerted attention to entanglement brings these texts together, where entanglement refers to woven histories, synchronicities of experience, untimely failures, and fierce departures, fugitive and rebellious, as well as the slow and reverberating motions of diasporic time. These cross-temporal flows erupt in divergent trajectories that constitute the raced subject in unexpected ways. Each essay is preoccupied with how race—as an ontological category born of violence—produces edges, wounds, or incisions that nurture opportunities for further ontological trans- gressions with possible liberatory potentials. What is more, the au- thors in this special issue demonstrate a shared commitment to transgression as method as they question dominant modes of histo- riography, hierarchies of memory, and forms of power (ontological, structural, and narrative). Cutting across temporal and spatial ter- rains, each essay contributes to an expanding critical horizon of studies on race and diaspora and on the entangled histories of slav- ery, indentured servitude, and anticolonial resistance. qui parle Vol. 28, No. 2, December 2019 doi 10.1215/10418385-7861793 © 2019 Editorial Board, Qui Parle 214 qui parle december 2019 vol. 28 no. 2 In
