The concept of the Black Atlantic has been used to look at Black culture on all sides of the Atlantic in the context of migration, diaspora, and hybridity. This two-volume publication explores philosophical notions and aesthetic forms of temporality in the Black Atlantic. The authors trace a transnational political and aesthetic emancipation movement of intellectuals and artists from the 1930s to the 1980s and beyond.

In the first volume, Gabriele Genge deals with artistic contributions in a transnational understanding of Négritude. She provides insights into a fundamental artistic interest in debating and transcending modern ideas about time. A transcultural horizon emerges that counters the racist and ethnological time regimes of modernity with polychronic manifestations of African thought and knowledge.
