Writing in a queer anticolonial poetics, and using lines of Kreol, Gitan Djeli mines the tension that emerges between colonialism and language, disarticulating the myth-making aesthetics of the colonial world. She tells the story of the 'other slavery' in the Indian Ocean and its histories of enslavement and indenture through a subversive, fragmented poetics, and often from the perspective its geologic witnesses--a misnamed ocean or the range of mountains within it or the volcanic idea of islands. In a charge of resistance to the catastrophe of modernity, \u003ci\u003eunrest in the nebulae\u003c\/i\u003e takes seriously Sylvia Wynter's invitation to engage \"a new science of the word.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGitan Djeli is a London-based Mauritian writer, editor, and scholar of cultural studies whose creative writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Funambulist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eadda\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDoek!\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52127753863442,"sku":"9781478038504","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6bd47cab-248a-495c-91bd-0e71e79125b9.jpg?v=1773746762","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/unrest-in-the-nebulae-9781478038504","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
