Hey-ColÓn’s approach to water is expansive and groundbreaking, as the book engages with saltwaters and freshwaters, unsettling the disciplinary boundaries that have traditionally linked these bodies of water to either Caribbean or Latinx Studies . . . As such, Channeling Knowledges, which is part of the "Latinx: The Future Is Now" series run by the University of Texas Press, represents a crucial and timely contribution to Afrolatinx, Caribbean, Border, and Religious Studies. (A Contracorriente) Channeling Knowledges successfully explores Afro-diasporic spirituality in literary worlds that pull us into Olokun’s depths, while it elevates the intellectual, artistic, and activist labor of Latina/x and Caribbean writers. (ReVista) Hey-ColÓn posits an intriguing, thought-provoking approach to reading Latinx and Caribbean diasporic literature...She demonstrates an impressive command of Afro-diasporic religions and has used it well to offer innovative and penetrating readings of iconic texts and paintings. (Hispania) Channeling Knowledges is a significant contribution to Black diaspora studies, Caribbean studies, and US Latinx studies. Its interdisciplinary nature marks its value for scholars working with water as a literary trope or those working with traditional knowledge systems. (Chiricú Journal) [This book] puts forth promising pathways for understanding Afro-diasporic, Latinx, and Caribbean knowledges, and the urgency to transcend limiting ways of understanding/being.
