This article, published in Callaloo Journal in 2013, looks at how Octavia Butler’s epic trilogy of human-alien crossbreeding on a post-nuclear apocalypse Earth both references and revises the “discourse of postcoloniality” and specifically unsettles the domestic space as a site of (gendered) deviance. I found the article on MLA while doing research for a paper on how the complex power dynamics and coerced interdependence through DNA-sharing present in Butler’s Lilith’s Brood series present interesting questions for topics such as “ethics of care” in disability studies.
