Commentary: Worn out

Cartographies of Struggle), which was recommended to me by the publisher. The book was originally named as my dissertation was: Demonic Grounds: Black Women, Geography, and the Poetics of Landscape. The original title couples Geography – the discipline and Eurocentric cartographic acts and the subversive geographies black women make – with the work of Edouard Glissant. Glissant offers us a radical spatial politics that harnesses creative energy and the entanglements of world-wide relation engages the difficult project of honoring our collective inter-human lands without the mandate for conquest, without territorialization (Glissant, 1997, p 50, 31). So my ease unraveled into a terrible discursive burden with this old and aging book I wrote but have not read and a subtitle that erases black poetics. I have begun to forget parts of the book and in this have had to face the parts that are unforgettable. The auction blocks, for me, demand a kind of brutal unforgetting. The archives on slave auctions that I visited when researching the book – those sites delineated, sometimes with loud precision and sometimes through silence, practices of terror-making that require violent sexist anti-black dehumanization. Even as black women, men, and children are subverting and tearing down the dominant order Worn down, in a debasement more eternal than apocalypse. But that is nothing yet. —Edouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, p 6.
