Yes! If you like Moor Mother have you read this?

Black Quantum Futurism at Counterpublic. 🙌🙌🙌

“Rather than focusing our community efforts on gathering monetary wealth, the project of Black liberation requires that we grow each other’s ability to act with agency as well as the time and space to create one’s self autonomously.”

Displacing Black Time and Space in Philadelphia Top-down urban planning and redevelopment doesn’t just disrupt maps and economies. Remaking Black communities like North Philly’s Sharswood also displaces residents’ very sense of time, Rasheedah Phillips writes in her new book.

"The following excerpt is adapted from “Dismantling the Master’s Clock: On Race, Space, and Time” (AK Press) by Rasheedah Phillips, a lawyer, Afrofuturist writer and the director of housing and land justice at PolicyLink."

Thanks so much for sharing!!

Portal to another dimension! Rasheedah Phillips literally wrote the book on spacetime from a Black perspective. I am excited to read this #afrofuturism #BlackSky 🧪

Thank you so much!!

Congratulations to Rasheedah Phillips! The panel Rasheedah hosted about Afrodiasporan and Indigenous futurisms and spatiality was by far my fav illustrated notetaking gig of last year!

Book cover for Dismantling the Master's Clock: On Race, Space, and Time by Rasheedah Phillips (AK Press). Cover features the suggestion of a clock with an inner black circle containing the title and author with numbers laid out like a clock around it but missing clock hands. https://www.akpress.org/dismantling-the-masters-clock.html

Book cover for The Children of the Dead by Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek, trans. Gitta Honegger, depicting a person either looking in a very old mirror with age spots, or seen through a window covered in a grime with a warp in it. https://mitpressbookstore.mit.edu/book/9780300142150

Book cover for Nine Bar Blues, which has a bright yellow circle like the center of a vinyl record with the title and author text, around which an elaborate filigree in bright colors depicts various figures like an alien face, a vampire's mouth, the moon, beetles, leaves and bubbles. https://www.thirdmanbooks.com/catalog/nine-bar-blues

Book cover for When the World Wounds, with two black and white ink drawings of wolves running above the title text, their shadows creating a long black shadow against the blue background. https://www.thirdmanbooks.com/catalog/when-the-world-wounds
