SUMMARY:WGSS Speaker Series: Sam C. Tenorio
DESCRIPTION:\nSam C. Tenorio's new book Jump: Black Anarchism and Antibl
ack Carcerality emerges through the leaps of the enslaved from the overw
helming geographic violence of the slave ships that carried them. Readin
g against the narrative that depoliticizes and denigrates jumping overbo
ard as merely a suicidal symptom of chattel slavery and the Middle Passa
ge\, the author demonstrates how bringing this practice to bear on the f
oundations of Black politics and carceral power allows us to rethink a p
olitics of refusal.\n\nIn a period of increasing political mobilization
against police brutality and mass incarceration\, Jump attends to the la
yers of confinement that constitute the racial and gendered hierarchies
of the anti-Black world. Tracing iterations of the jump through the carc
eral wake of the slave ship\, Tenorio explores the voyages of the Black
Star Line in defiance of the bordered authority of the nation state\, th
e Watts Rebellion of 1965 against the property relation of ghettoization
\, and Assata Shakur's abscondence from prison to Cuba. Ultimately\, by
centering radical acts too often relegated to the periphery\, Tenorio ar
gues that considering the jump as a progenitor of Black politics deepens
our conceptualization of the Black radical tradition and extends a para
digm-shifting attention to Black anarchism.\n\nFor more details: https:/

s new book Jump: Black Anarchism and Antiblack Carcerality emer
ges through the leaps of the enslaved from the overwhelming geographic v
iolence of the slave ships that carried them. Reading against the narrat
ive that depoliticizes and denigrates jumping overboard as merely a suic
idal symptom of chattel slavery and the Middle Passage, the author demon
strates how bringing this practice to bear on the foundations of Black p
olitics and carceral power allows us to rethink a politics of refusal.
In a period of increasing political mobilization against police bru
tality and mass incarceration, Jump attends to the layers of co
nfinement that constitute the racial and gendered hierarchies of the ant
i-Black world. Tracing iterations of the jump through the carceral wake
of the slave ship, Tenorio explores the voyages of the Black Star Line i
n defiance of the bordered authority of the nation state, the Watts Rebe
llion of 1965 against the property relation of ghettoization, and Assata
Shakur's abscondence from prison to Cuba. Ultimately, by centering radi
cal acts too often relegated to the periphery, Tenorio argues that consi
dering the jump as a progenitor of Black politics deepens our conceptual
ization of the Black radical tradition and extends a paradigm-shifting a
ttention to Black anarchism.
