An important, powerful piece on #Sudan.
"In her work on 'grievability,' Judith Butler argues that some lives are more grievable and hold more value than others. Ungrievable lives, in her definition, are lives that can’t be lost or destroyed, because they as they already inhabit a lost and destroyed zone. They are perceived ontologically, from the very beginning, as already lost and destroyed—meaning that when these lives are destroyed in war, nothing is destroyed. The Sudanese identity, which blends 'blackness' and 'Muslimness,' is a recipe for disaster in the world of global solidarity that rejects either one of the two identities or both."
