This book is a timely intervention in the areas of philosophy,
history, and literature. As an exploration of the modern political
order and its racial genealogy, it emerges at a moment when
scholars and activists alike are wrestling with how to understand
subject formation from the perspective of the subordinated rather
than from dominant social and philosophical modes of thought. For
Sawyer, studying the formation of racialized subjects requires a
new imagining of marginalized subjects. Black subjectivity is not
viewed from the static imaginings of social death, alienation,
ongoing abjection, or as a confrontation with the treat of
oblivion. Sawyer innovates the term "fractured temporality,"
conceptualizing Black subjects as moving within and across
temporalities in transition, incorporated, yet excluded, marked
with the social death of Atlantic slavery and the emergent
political orders it etched, and still capable of exerting
revolutionary force that acts upon, against, and through racial
oppression.
