In the Atlantic World, different groups were aromatically
classified in opposition to other ethnic, gendered, and class
assemblies due to an economic necessity that needed certain bodies
to be defined as excremental, which culminated in the creation of a
progressive tautology that linked Africa and waste through a
conceptual hendiadys born of capitalist licentiousness. The African
subject was defined as a scented object, appropriated as filthy to
create levels of ownership through discourse that marked African
peoples as unable to access spaces of Western modernity. Embodied
cultural knowledge was potent enough to alter the biological
function of the five senses to create a European olfactory
consciousness made to sense the African other as foul. Fascinating,
informative, and deeply researched, The Smell of Slavery exposes
that concerns with pungency within the Western self were emitted
outward upon the freshly dug outhouse of the mass slave grave
called the Atlantic World.
