Fugitive, Where Are You Running?

"A brilliant exploration of the nuances, tensions, and radical possibilities of Blackness as told through the framework of fugitivity and marronage. Dénètem Touam Bona graciously invites us to cross temporal lines, geographic boundaries, and methodological conventions in this beautifully written book."
Damien M. Sojoyner, University of California
 
"Afropean anthropologist, philosopher, and art curator Dénètem Touam Bona is an original "border thinker" and "crosser" of geographic and conceptual boundaries working within a tradition of Caribbean historical poetics, notably represented by Édouard Glissant. He explores ideas of "fugue" and "refuge" in light of the experience of maroons or escaped slaves, key actors of the simultaneous expansion of freedom and industrial-scale chattel slavery in the Americas."
