In The Long Emancipation Rinaldo Walcott posits that Black people
globally live in the time of emancipation and that emancipation is
definitely not freedom. Taking examples from across the globe, he
argues that wherever Black people have been emancipated from
slavery and colonization, a potential freedom has been thwarted.
Walcott names this condition the long emancipation-the ongoing
interdiction of potential Black freedom and the continuation of the
juridical and legislative status of Black nonbeing. Stating that
Black people have yet to experience freedom, Walcott shows that
being Black in the world is to exist in the time of emancipation in
which Black people must constantly fashion alternate conceptions of
freedom and reality through expressive culture. Given that Black
unfreedom lies at the center of the making of the modern world, the
attainment of freedom for Black people, Walcott contends, will
transform the human experience worldwide. With The Long
Emancipation, Walcott offers a new humanism that begins by
acknowledging that present conceptions of what it means to be human
do not currently include Black people.
