Abstract

Despite initial skepticism regarding the idea that narrative is a potent mode for generating multispecies justice, this afterword underscores the compelling arguments in the introduction to this special section. Then, the essay offers a response to several of the ideas, analyses, and examples presented by the essays in this collection, with a focus on conceptions of relationality, the subjects of justice, not-knowing but learning, and practices of world-building. It also offers brief interpretations of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's novel Noopiming in relation to concepts and questions raised by the special section. The afterword concludes by advocating for a multitude of practices within specific places and lifeworlds, practices that are rich with compassionate multispecies relations.
