Description

Dismantling the Master's Clock: On Race, Space, and Time by Rasheedah Phillips explores the fundamental nature of time and its relationship to racial justice. Drawing on philosophy, archival research, quantum physics, and her own art practice, Phillips challenges the dominant Western perception of time and its legacy of oppression. The book delves into Black and Afrodiasporic conceptions of time, where the past, present, and future interact in complex ways. Phillips examines how colonial exploration, the plantation system, and other historical events have shaped our understanding of time, while also highlighting the ways in which Black communities have subverted space-time through resistance and creativity. By expanding our horizons of what can be imagined and achieved, Dismantling the Master's Clock offers a radical new perspective on time, justice, and liberation.
