How Much Is Your African Slave Worth
Arguing that racial slavery was a foundation of the modern world and of capitalism, this essay details the historical ways in which the organization of debt and credit networks were integral to the Atlantic slave trade. The author contends that the enslaved body of the African was itself commodified and, as such, opened new technologies of rule. Contemporary forms of commodification, indebtedness, and saturation, the essay concludes, draw from so…

Liberalism, Colonial Power, Subjectivities, and the Technologies of Pastoral Coloniality: The Jamaican Case
We Who Were Slaves
Working from the injunction of C. L. R. James about the requirement to understand the “new forms created in the context of slavery,” this essay argues that there is a political requirement for the study of the intellectual history and political thought of the African enslaved. The essay also notes that the Black enslaved body represented a distinct form of labor in which it produced commodities while itself being a “property in person.” Such a hi…

And What About the Human: Freedom, Human Emancipation, and the Radical Imagination
Arguing that the processes of racial slavery and colonialism were "historically catastrophic," thereby creating the grounds for different sets of questions about the human and the meanings of freedom, this essay maps some of the ways in which these questions have been posed from within the framework of the "traditions of the oppressed." Working through the question of the human as a distinctive figure that emerges from the radical anticolonial an…

James, in his second American sojourn in the late 1960s.

Empire of Liberty: Power, Desire, & Freedom
The emergence of Transnational American Studies in the wake of the Cold War marks the most signifi cant reconfi guration of American Studies since its inception.The shock waves generated by a newly globalized world order demanded an understanding of America's embeddedness within global and local processes rather than scholarly reaffi rmations of its splendid isolation.The series Re-Mapping the Transnational seeks to foster the cross-national dial…
Empire of liberty: Power, desire, and freedom
In this thoughtful and timely consideration of the nature of American power and empire, Anthony Bogues argues that America's self-presentation as the bastion of liberty is an attempt to force upon the world a single universal truth, which has the objective of eradicating the radical imagination. Central to this project of American supremacy is the elaboration and construction of a language of power in which a form of self-government appears as th…
History, Decolonization and the Making of Revolution: Reflections on Writing the Popular History of the Jamaican Events of 1938
The writing of popular history in Jamaica has a tradition which begins inside the anticolonial movement and develops with the Marxist Left in the 1970s. This essay examines how the major texts of this tradition describe the historical 1938 events. It suggests that while the tradition foregrounded popular movements, it did so within frames which negated the political ideas of these groups. In the end the essay argues for a critical subaltern histo…
Black Power, Decolonization, and Caribbean Politics: Walter Rodney and the Politics of The Groundings with My Brothers

The riot was triggered by the Jamaican government's banning of the revolutionary scholar Walter Rodney. This essay discusses the 1968 riot and the political practice and thought of Walter Rodney as one moment in the historic moment of Black Power as an international political banner under which significant sections of the Bla…

Writing Caribbean Intellectual History
Arguing that An Intellectual History of the Caribbean is an important text in the emerging field of Caribbean intellectual history, this essay suggests that missing from this important text is the working through of an intellectual history that grapples with black religious practices as modes of thought. It also argues that if Caribbean thought gets knotted up in the trope of Caliban, it will not decolonize itself and begin to wrestle with what K…
