On Indigeneity without Blackness: Jodi A. Byrd, ‘Love and Secrets’, Southern Cultures, 28, 3, 2022, pp. 70-73

06Dec22

Abstract: This essay looks at Chickasaw anti-Blackness within experiences of settler colonialism, removal, and slavery in the South as well as Chickasaw refusals to address the complicities of slave-owning in the nation. Drawing on the author’s own family history to think through the possibilities and failures to link Indigeneity and slavery, the essay considers what is inherited and what is lost in the violences of dispossession.
