ArtForum - Saidiya Hartman on insurgent histories and the abolitionist imaginary

“The intimate realm is an extension of the social world —it is inseparable from the social world— so to create other networks of love and affiliation, to nurture a promiscuous sociality vast enough to embrace strangers, is to be involved in the work of challenging and remaking the items of sociality.”

— Saidiya Hartman (2020).

“Really?”

— William Jaeger (2019).

“The possessive investment in whiteness can’t be rectified by learning “how to be more antiracist”. It requires a radical divestment in the project of whiteness and a redistribution of wealth and resources.”

“They understand reform to be a modality of reproducing the machine, reproducing the order—sustaining it.”
