+ | It’s a kind of add-and-stir and mix it all together. It’s what the liberals do when they want to really avoid the trouble of race.At least that’s the accusation. I don’t think it’s entirely fair. | ||

+ | Haraway Idioms for unity right now are impoverished. Really impover- ished. They all involve oppressions and exclusions, like immediately repudiating “Black Lives Matter” with “All Lives Matter.” That simply repeats the violence of racism. After WWII the UNESCO statements on universal man, which deliberately were meant to address the fascist doctrine of racial difference, relied on the notion of gene frequencies and populations.As we talked about briefly above, the pressure of human numbers weighs on me, in its complex distributions and extreme inequalities of effects and causes. The slogan “Make Kin Not Babies” derives from a standing-room only panel that Adele Clarke and I organized at the 2015 meetings of the Society for Social Studies of Science, was followed in 2018 by Making Kin Not Population, with Kim TallBear, Michelle Murphy, Ruha Benjamin, and Chia Ling Wu and her former student,Yu Ling Huang.We are not all in agreement, but we are, in Angela Davis’s idiom, in generative conflict and collaboration in overlapping but non-identical idioms and histories. I wrote about “Universal Man” walking out of the UNESCO building in the chapter on race; that man depended on the discourse of populations rather than races.The European who walks out of the EU building today is deeply indebted to the same liberal discourse of the United Nations’ and of UNESCO’s statements on race.And the right-wing never accommodated either to the European man or the UNESCO man.They were never committed to this version of human unity. The good part of what they’re committed to is place—love of here, not everywhere. Care for here, not everywhere. But this kind of love of place succumbs to frank racism very easily—fear of the stranger, the one thought to be out of place, the alien, the immigrant, the Indigenous. Populationist thinking was supposed to counter that, but could not because of its own unexamined assumptions and practices. My current work continues to probe the necessity of making kin non-biogenetically, | ||
