"These are crucial manifestos that changed the discourse and
clarified our situation in the postmodern in stunning and beautiful
ways. That we are animal and machine and human and full of
potential is Donna Haraway’s enduring and inspirational
message."-Kim Stanley Robinson, author of Aurora and the Mars
trilogy
"Here Donna Haraway’s manifestos are marvelously composted in the
rich humus of reflection, erudition, and reasons for laughter that
makes thinking with other people so generative. The brilliance that
sparks between Cary Wolfe and Haraway illuminates everything that
is between, around, underneath, and beside two most profound
moments in critical thought."-Marilyn Strathern, University of
Cambridge
"Donna Haraway’s essays are invitations to scientists, artists, and
everyone-who-must-improvise for respectful play with chimeras,
hybrids, cyborgs, GMOs, holobionts, mosaics, allies, and fusions.
They are invitations to generate new creative relationships for
flourishing during and after the Anthropocene. As always, when
presented with essays by Haraway, accept the invitation at the risk
of becoming a different person."-Scott F. Gilbert, Swarthmore
College "The social relations of science was a whole movement in
the 1930s...It did not survive the cold war purges of intellectual
life. Science studies has reinvented many of its themes and in many
ways improved upon them. Yet perhaps, as Haraway once noted in
passing, the “liberal mystification that all started with Thomas
Kuhn…” has erased a little too much of its radical past. We are
very fortunate that Donna Haraway and her kith reinvented
it."-Public Seminar"Unusual and exciting. Every word adds a new
detail, facet, nuance, reflection, to an infinitely detailed,
faceted, nuanced reality."-London Review of Books"Manifestly
Haraway is a timely and necessary publication in response to our
own political moment if we are to link up with past failures, and
explore new affinities for the future."-Arcadia"Widely
influential."-Science Fiction Studies"Important, feminist,
bio-political work."-Annals of Science
"Manifestly Haraway is illuminating and engaging. Donna Haraway
contextualizes the manifestos and considers how some of these early
ideas are developing alongside fresh concepts and influences."
