Abstract
This essay reads Hanya Yanagihara’s first novel as an example of postcolonial dark archaeology. Drawing from Timothy Morton’s dark ecology and Rob Nixon’s slow violence, I argue the figure of sexual abuse and exploitation complicates notions of pristine indigeneity and corrupt anthropology, critically confusing notions of cultural, physical and ideological pollution, contamination, discovery and knowledge.
