Saidiya Hartman 
Scenes of Subjection [EPUB ebook] 
Terror, Slavery and Self-Making in Nineteenth Century America

Apoio

‘One of our most brilliant contemporary thinkers’ Claudia Rankine
‘An unrelenting exploration of slavery and freedom’ New Yorker
In 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.
