  • dismantling the master's clock: on race, space & time w/ Rasheedah Phillips

    dismantling the master's clock: on race, space & time w/ Rasheedah Phillips
    2025/05/29
    Notions of time and space are fundamental to orienting one’s place in various experiences. Mapping time/understanding temporality allows us to coordinate ourselves on the map of human geography [shout out to John Henrik Clarke]. But what happens when we understand that time is colonized – a colonial construct – devised as a mechanism of capitalism that maximizes aggressive accumulation and deteriorating processes of human and natural resource extraction? A faint distortion, intentionally designed, to arrest the capacities of a people or peoples to see beyond the moment, limiting the collective capacity to envision a future, not only materially, but non-materially. A process necessary to self-incarcerate our innate ability to map, coordinate, envision, and realize freedom. It is here, Rasheedah Phillips adds more insight by asking, why do some processes—like aging, birth, and car crashes—occur in only one direction in time, when by the fundamental symmetry of the universe, we should experience time both forward and backward? Our dominant perception of time owes more to Western history and social order than to a fact of nature. Phillips dives deeper into understanding and exploring Black and Afrodiasporic conceptions of time, where the past, present, and future interact in more numerous constellations. Rasheedah Phillips unpacks the history of time and its legacy of racial oppression, from colonial exploration and the plantation system to the establishment of Daylight Savings. While simultaneously, highlighting how Black communities have long subverted space-time through such tools of resistance as Juneteenth, tenant organizing, ritual, and time travel. Ultimately, Rasheedah Phillips is interested in the provocation that posits: What could Black liberation look like if the past were as changeable as the future? Thinking deeply about the limited capacity of time as defined and redefined within the historical and material reality of capital, Dismantling the Masters Clock, fits into the long durée of revolutionary praxis, from marronage , self-emancipating Africans who utilized their ancient forms of knowledge of land, warfare, and foodways always with an eye on the undetermined future, freedom, to graffiti artists in Nairobi, merging afro-futuristic concepts with the natural world as way to invoke a radical imagination to redefine their current moment with the multiplicity of future moments. Rasheedah writes, “this book ultimately posits that by decolonizing time – by breaking free from the master's clock that has been instrumental in sustaining systems of oppression – we can forge new pathways for liberation that are attuned to the realities, histories, and futures of Black communities. The act of reclaiming both time and nature of reality itself is a profound step toward manifesting temporalities where Black experiences and knowledges are centered” [23].

  • On Frantz Fanon | w/ Lou Turner

    On Frantz Fanon | w/ Lou Turner
    2025/05/21
    Frantz Fanon wrote, you know the famous, often quoted but less applied dictate: “Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.” What if we are to intentionally engage this thought by asking, are we on the edge of betraying our mission? Have we even discovered it? Moreover, what can we do to fulfill it? How we go about engaging Fanon’s work gives rise to the corresponding need to reflect on what is urgent, usable, and instructive about his work – identifying the reason that his work matters and is of political consequence in the current moment. There is a need to be more intentional and critical in identifying what ideas and/or concepts and frameworks Fanon offers us that are useful [no, necessary] to us, now? In recognition of Fanon's 100th, we speak with Lou Turner. Professor Lou Turner is Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and former Academic Advisor for the Department of African American Studies, 2008-2017. Lou Turner was Research and Public Policy Director for Chicago South Side community organization Developing Communities Project (2000-2014). He is a board member of the African American Leadership & Policy Institute. Turner is the Principal Investigator for Hal Baron Digital Archival, Research, and Publication Project at UIUC. A colleague of the late Hegelian-Marxist philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya, he has written extensively on Fanonian, Marxian and Hegelian dialectics. With Dr. Helen Neville, Lou Turner co-edited Frantz Fanon’s Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Clinical Work: Practicing Internationally with Marginalized Communities (2020). Lou Turner is coauthor of Frantz Fanon, Soweto and American Black Thought (1978; 1986), which circulated in the anti-apartheid underground of the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native/indigenous, African, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; Ghana; Ayiti; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people. listen intently. think critically. act accordingly.
