P L S #38 ancestries

Issue 38 of P L S magazine calls upon ancestries, be they intimate or political, transgenerational and historical, human or more-than-human, symbolic or material. Its contributions invite us to communicate with the invisible, in the words of Guadeloupean writer Maryse Cond in her novel I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem. It is a matter of conjuring away oblivion and erasure: to revive connections and lineage, something both familiar and held in common, so as to find strength, protection, guidance and, perhaps, healing.
