Activating multiple registers of "wake"?the path behind a ship, keeping watch with the dead, coming to consciousness?Sharpe illustrates how Black lives are swept up and animated by the afterlives of slavery, and she delineates what survives despite such insistent violence and negation. Initiating and describing a theory and method of reading the metaphors and materiality of "the wake," "the ship," "the hold," and "the weather," Sharpe shows how the sign of the slave ship marks and haunts contemporary Black life in the diaspora and how the specter of the hold produces conditions of containment, regulation, and punishment, but also something in excess of them. In the weather, Sharpe situates anti-Blackness and white supremacy as the total climate that produces premature Black death as normative. Formulating the wake and "wake work" as sites of artistic production, resistance, consciousness, and possibility for living in diaspora, In the Wake offers a way forward. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aRacism$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPremature death$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination in law enforcement$zUnited States 606 $aSlavery$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRacism$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPremature death$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDiscrimination in law enforcement 615 0$aSlavery$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aSharpe$b Christina Elizabeth$01071323 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136667903321 996 $aIn the wake$92566807 997 $aUNINA
