Series: Sternberg Press / The Antipolitical

"Unpayable Debt examines the relationships among coloniality, raciality, and global capital from a black feminist ""poethical"" perspective. Inspired by Octavia E. Butler's 1979 sci-fi novel Kindred, in which an African American writer is transported back in time to the antebellum South to save her owner-ancestor, Unpayable Debt relates the notion of value to coloniality--both economic and ethical. Focusing on the philosophy behind value, Denise Ferreira da Silva exposes capital as the juridical architecture and ethical grammar of the world. Here, raciality--a symbol of coloniality--justifies deployments of total violence to enable expropriation and land extraction.

This is the first volume in the On the Antipolitical series.
