Scenes of Subjection: Terror, Slavery, and Self-Making in Nineteenth-Century America by Saidiya Hartman

5.0

i'm not going to act like i will ever have the range to fully understand everything within the 202 pages of this book because i didn't. with that said, Saidiya Harman is remarkable scholar, professor, archivist, and all the above . this was probably one of the most insightful and powerful books i've ever read on black subjectivity/ black suffering (almost unbearable at this time).

reading this definitely changing and helps put into perspective of the black experience. i will be going back to this book for the rest of my life.
