Treasure My Black Rupture

Anna Martine Whitehead's debut depicts a series of encounters with Blackness in its incalculable manifestations. From jail cells to middle schools, interrogation rooms to the zombie apocalypse, Whitehead traverses the real and unreal, the remembered and the forgotten. It would seem, Whitehead argues, that Blackness (and its attendant affects, physicalities, subjugations) exists everywhere--including all the places we haven't thought of yet. Using essays, poems, and striking images from Whitehead and Suné Woods, TREASURE | My Black Rupture powerfully adds to the growing canon of Black Feminist Futurism.
