“…Stories include cases such as a beloved sister or daughter put to death by her male relative to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy; a woman pregnant by, bearing, and eventually rearing the child of her rapist; a woman repatriated by the government to a home environment grown more hostile to her than the enemy's… As the author describes the terrible ordeals her informants have 8 of 16 -CRAPO KIM been through, she builds our awareness of an ultimate indignity: these women are unable to give voice to their suffering because there are no words to describe it. (Fonseca, 2011, p. 308, p. 308) Das's account of indescribable and ordinary suffering joins narratives of painful de-kinning and its subsequent complex iterations, such as prisons that separate parents from their kin and may protect kin from violent members (Moore, 2019). The politics of borders also exacerbate the pain and complexity of de-kinning; de-kinning is a banal event.…”

“…However, I am influenced by research that discloses the danger of uncritically adopting kinship (Carsten, 2013, p. 246; Strathern, 2014) or enclosing a presumed heterosexual centering (Butler, 2002). I am persuaded by the research of those who have theorized an ambivalent analysis of kinship (Das, 1995; Moore, 2019; Peletz, 2000).…”

This article briefly traces newer kinship studies at the edges of kinship formations and argues that a feminist, decolonial examination of kinship interrupts cultural relatedness as a capital set of social relations meant to satiate the ache to belong to or progenerate a group. Examining the coordinated relationship between kinning and de‐kinning, the author exposes the suffering the social contract fails to register but reinscribes. Central to this analysis is kinship's global colonizing matrix dominated by white‐heteronormative ableism that shapes and prices commodified belonging and generation. This global colonizing matrix is the focus of this inquiry, examined through a cursory consideration of the author's lived experience as a transnational and transracial adoptee and racial minority scholar who teaches majority BIPOC students. This account theorizes a specific experience of kinship to broaden the analysis for others to locate their narratives and ongoing contributions to the deformation and reformation of kinship studies.
