Abstract
Donna Haraway’s ecological visions frame this exploration of my mother Alison Jolly’s writings as a primatologist of ring-tailed lemurs. My mother, I propose, chose auto/biographical modes to unsettle anthropomorphic and Western perspectives and to enhance conservation efforts in Madagascar. I find solace in this and in Haraway’s ideas about survival as publisher of Mum’s diaries after her death.
