Summary:

This case study draws from my research on the Haitian Lakou. It introduces the Haitian Lakou as an intersectional, embodied, collective feminist infrastructure for knowledge inquiry. In outlining modes of accounting that interweave intersubjective knowledge in research, I stage the Lakou as a decolonial feminist praxis that acknowledges first-hand the embedded multilayered and historical dimension of violence of contemporary and historical projects of colonialism on our lives. As method the Lakou thus calls attention to knowledge and subjectivity in political lives. The praxis bears an onto-hauntological condition that evokes an ecology of being and a coming to knowledge. In this way, "to-know" engages a process of cultivation through which, as researchers, we know and understand ourselves better within the webs of relationships, struggles, and possibilities in which we partake.
