Description
Saidiya Hartman's groundbreaking debut, Scenes of Subjection, is a powerful exploration of the forms of routine terror and quotidian violence characteristic of slavery. Now revised and updated, this book offers a radical reshaping of our understanding of history by attending to the withheld and overlooked at the margins of the historical archive.
By examining the intertwining of injury, subjugation, and selfhood, Hartman sheds new light on the complexities of slavery and its legacy. This 25th anniversary edition features a new preface by the author, a foreword by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an afterword by Marisa J. Fuentes and Sarah Haley, notations with Cameron Rowland, and compositions by Torkwase Dyson.
With its unique analytical framework and singular talents, Scenes of Subjection is a work that continues to resonate today, offering a fresh perspective on the past and its ongoing impact on our understanding of history and identity.
