Index
Dénètem Touam Bona is a writer, curator, and philosopher who lives in France and Réunion.
"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."
Geoffroy de Laforcade, Humanities
