"With her characteristic brilliance and speculative flair, Sharon Patricia Holland breaks new ground in an other, a book that will prove to be her most philosophical and speculative text yet. Holland pulls at the ways that blackness as ontology and epistemology undoes and ethically remakes the bio/zoopolitical distinction between animals and humans. She remakes the very ideas that underline life itself as a human project that both denies and relies on animality: love, death, knowing, being, and ultimately revolution as it happens on the scale of the ordinary and the everyday. An essential volume."
Kyla Wazana Tompkins, author of, Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the Nineteenth Century
"Sharon Patricia Holland's an other is a beautiful, expansive, rich, and genius gift to a world that could not have anticipated it. Her work at the level of the animal and cohabitation and about relationality and comportment is assuredly a necessary and brilliant offering. Holland's enormous intervention cannot be overstated. Black studies will not be the same after this book."
Sarah Jane Cervenak, author of, Black Gathering: Art, Ecology, Ungiven Life
