Keguro : On Ndege Means Bird reflections on naming,
“And so taxonomy, with its ostensible certitudes, meets ossified indigeneities, with their experiential demands, in effacing—perhaps effacing is too strong a word—the social experiences that form other kinds of relations”.
“Increasingly, I want to know the local names. The names of relation”.
“And, perhaps, the names “bird that snatches lunch” or “bird that is loudest in the morning” or “bird that sips pond water” sound imprecise, but they mark experience and relation. They return us—or keep us—where names circulate as social experiences”.
