Response to Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson’s review of Queer Terror: Life, Death, and Desire in the Settler Colony

C. Heike Schotten’s Queer Terror: Life, Death, and Desire in the Settler Colony brings together conversations in political theory, native studies, queer theory, and biopolitics to offer a stunningly original theory of the temporality of settler sovereignty. Trenchant, polemical, and committed to a revolutionary politics against settler sovereignty, Queer Terror nonetheless seeks to conscript its reader to a seemingly untenable position. Schotten closes the book with the memorable and apparently indefensible declaration, ‘We choose to stand on the side of ‘‘terrorism’’’ (168). Queer Terror builds a solid theoretical armature for why standing on the side of ‘terrorism’ is a queer and decolonial position.
