Thinking critically about media reception and discourses of ancestral discovery, we tie Davis’s appearance on Finding Your Roots to other major works, such as Gayl Jones’s Corregidora and The Invitation (2022), for their reflections on (anti-)Blackness and the horror-drama of genealogy. In closing, we consider our own relationships to the “slave descendant” narrative and questi...

Back in AmericaPoetism 3: Can You Feel It? Johnnie Hobbs on D’Angelo and Amiri Baraka
She listen to a little of that D’Angelo music, some love’s melody, sophisticated-type rap, which she say sounds more like real music, like intelligent music, than some of that other music, then she cuts the radio off ––Gayl Jones, The Healing
Like the narrator in Gayl Jones’ The Healing, this week’s installment of Poetism focuses on and around “black music,” that is music which conveys a specific feeling of a sensation or time without explaining anything. For me, it’s like being a child at an adult’s card table; no one tells you how the gam...

Ohio State UP PodcastJohn Murillo III, "Impossible Stories: On the Space and Time of Black Destructive Creation" (Ohio State UP, 2021)In Impossible Stories: On the Space and Time of Black Destructive Creation (Ohio State UP, 2021), John Murillo offers bold new readings of recent and canonical Black creative works within an Afro-pessimistic framework to excavate how time, space, and blackness intersect—or, rather, crash. Building on Michelle Wright’s ideas about dislocation from time and space as constitutive to being Black in America, as well as on W. E. B. DuBois’s theories of temporalization, he reconsiders the connections between physical phenomena and principles, literature, history, and the fragmented nature of Black time and space.Taking as his lens the...
