Segregated Time

Discover the groundbreaking book that challenges our perception of time and race in Segregated Time. Martin Luther King Jr. was told he was "too soon" in his fight for civil rights, and now those demanding reparations for slavery are told they are "too late." But what if the question isn't about when, but whose time it is? P.J. Brendese delves into the concept of segregated time, exploring how different political subjects are seen as occupying different time zones and how this serves the interests of white supremacy.

Drawing on Africana, Latinx, and Indigenous political thought, Brendese uncovers the powerful ways in which time is weaponized against people of color. This groundbreaking exploration sheds light on how the acceleration of human disposability and dynamic identity formation are tied to racial segregation and inequality. It is not just about physical space, but also about impositions on human time. Discover the hidden web of racial power dynamics woven into the fabric of our society.

Each chapter of Segregated Time enlightens us on different aspects of the intersection between time and race. Learn about how migration politics create temporal borders, how the extended lifetimes of some depend on the foreshortened lives of others, and how racial stigma conveys debt and "subprime time." Uncover the concept of "white time" as a possessive, acquisitive, and colonizing force. Prepare to challenge your preconceived notions and gain a new understanding of contemporary orders of time and race.

In this era of climate catastrophe, it's crucial to examine the racial divides of lives on borrowed time. Who is cast out of time through racial violence? Who "does time" in the prison system? Segregated Time dives deep into these questions, revealing the dark realities that persist in our society. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking exploration of time and race that will reshape your understanding of the world around you.
