The Being of Relation

Brings together Glissant's poetics of relation and Deligny's errant lines to study the structures holding whiteness and neurotypicality in place. Moves beyond the confines of pathology and psychological assessment to look into how blackness and neurodiversity emerge at the very site of relation-where identity is constantly unfolding. 2 illus.
