''One of our most brilliant contemporary thinkers'' Claudia Rankine''An unrelenting exploration of slavery and freedom'' New YorkerIn this radical re-evaluation of American history, Saidiya Hartman draws together a striking portrait of nineteenth-century slavery and its many afterlives.
Through close examination of a variety of ''scenes'', ranging from the auction block and the minstrel show to plantation diaries and legal cases, Scenes of Subjection investigates the interconnected nature of historical enslavement and present-day racism. With bold and persuasively argued possibilities for Black resistance and transformation, this book shows how far we have yet to go to dismantle the pervasive legacy of slavery.
