Dr. King’s book, The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies (Duke UP, 2019) is innovative and powerful. She provides alternative insights into understanding how slavery, anti-Blackness, and Indigenous genocide structure white supremacy. In one review of her book, Mishuana Goeman writes, “King’s concept of the shoal breaks new ground for thinking trhough the relationship between Indigenous peoples and African Americans and genocide and slavery as well as how they have formed our contemporary politics. Her rigorous engagement with Black and Indigenous studies will create a better dialogue between the two fields.”
