This article explores the queer qualities of feminist scientist Donna Haraway's 'A Cyborg Manifesto' (1985). In the first part, the article investigates the similarities between 'A Cyborg Manifesto' and the ideas circulating in queer theory, including the hybridity of identity, and the disruption of totalizing social categories such as 'Gay man' and 'Woman'. In the second part, it is argued that 'A Cyborg Manifesto' evinced a decolonial feminist form of queerness. The article references the African-American, Chicana and Asian-American feminist sociology, theory, literature and history that 'A Cyborg Manifesto' takes up. The article does not wish to position Haraway's white-authored text as an authoritative voice on decolonial feminist queerness, instead arguing for the role of 'A Cyborg Manifesto' as a bibliographical work that readers may reference in their exploration of decolonial feminist beginnings of queer theory
