Though circulated, read, and taught for decades, Hall’s seminal essays are widely dispersed, with many pieces out of print or difficult to find. Stuart Hall: Selected Writings brings together Hall’s well-known works with previ- ously unpublished ones to create a portrait of his wide-ranging intellectual and political investments. The volumes in the series, which include Hall’s memoir, are edited by major scholars and organized thematically, cover- ing topics ranging from race, photography, and Marxism to the Caribbean, popular culture, and British politics. With this series, Duke University Press is the official home for the writings of Stuart Hall.

  • The Excessive Present of Abolition: the Afterlife of Slavery in Law, Literature, and Performance
    iii The Excessive Present of Abolition: The Afterlife of Slavery in Law, Literature, and Performance A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jesse Aaron Goldberg May 2018 iv © 2018 Jesse Aaron Goldberg v THE EXCESSIVE PRESENT OF ABOLITION: THE AFTERLIFE OF SLAVERY IN LAW, LITERATURE, AND PERFORMANCE Jesse Aaron Goldberg, Ph.D. Cornell University The Excessive Present of Abolition reframes timescales of black radical imaginaries, arguing that Black Atlantic literary and performative texts and traditions resist periodization into past, present, and future. Their temporalities create an excessive present, in which the past persists alongside a future that emerges concurrently through forms of daily practice. I intervene in debates in black studies scholarship between a pessimistic view that points backward, arguing that blackness is marked by social death, and an optimistic view that points forward, insisting that blackness exceeds slavery’s reach. Holding both views in tension, I illuminate the “excess” that undermines this binary. The law’s violence in its rendering of black bodies as fungible exceeds its capacity for justice, and yet blackness exceeds the reach of the law, never reducible to only the state of abjection conjured by the structuring power of white supremacy. I theorize the excessive present through literature and performance in contrast to legal discourse – notably the 1783 British case Gregson v Gilbert, which is striking because it records a massacre of 131 people as an insurance case, not a murder case. The 1781 Zong Massacre recurs through each of my chapters, via J.M.W.

In the present chapter we explore the expansion of education in the post-Second World War era as capitalism’s labor needs shifted with the continued development of labor-saving technologies, which coincided with the emergence of a new era in mass mobilizations spearheaded by the African American Civil Rights movement and its leaders. New crises of realization develop as the labor-saving technologies eventually render large segments of the US working-class redundant. Unlike previous manifestations of racism designed to either justify the super- exploitation of slavery or maintain a form of the plantation system through prisoner-leasing schemes after Reconstruction, the particular form of “super- predator” anti-Blackness of the post-Second World War mass incarceration era was a response to Black workers especially being expelled from production as a by-product of automation (Puryear 2012).

  • Making a New World David and the Revolution
    Making a New World David and the Revolution 'Never was any such event so inevitable yet so completely unforeseen', was how the great historian Alexis de Tocqueville characterized the coming of the French Revolution. From a distance of more than two hundred years, we can see that the Revolution was the result of a series of social, economic and political pressures which, though manageable in themselves, had the cumulative effect of toppling the monarchy and chang- ing the course of French and European history. By the mid-1780s the whole framework of the ancien regime seemed close to breakdown. As a legacy of its expensive involvement in the American War of Independence (1778-83), 70 Let's Hope that France was facing bankruptcy and the government was forced this Game Ends Soon, to borrow more and more money to cover its deficits. The 1789 . Coloured public was also aware of how the lavish and extravagant engraving ; 36-5 - 24cm, expenditure of the court added to the nation's debts, and they 141e" 9 1 zin were outraged at the waste. Tensions also existed between the aristocracy and the emerging middle classes, with the latter group trying hard to gain social acceptance and a rise in their influence and status . Of course these issues of politics and class were of little importance to the poor, the vast majority of whom lived in degradation and misery trying to scratch a living from the land. They laid the blame for their misfortunes squarely at the feet of the Church and the aristocracy which claimed crip- pling tithes and feudal dues (70).

  • Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal
    “Abu-Jamal’s writing tends to be forceful, outraged, and humorous, but he also engages in the bombastic approaches of another era … [T]he author offers powerful columns on diverse subjects ranging from the plight of black farmers to the crushing of dissent after 9/11. Some remain all too relevant—e.g., those decrying systemic police brutality as seen in flashpoints from Rodney King to Ferguson or the rise of racial disparities in drug sentencing. Abu-Jamal meditates on central figures in the black political narrative, ranging from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Trayvon Martin … As a collection that spans from 1982 to 2014, these topical essays testify to the effects of incarceration on mind and spirit. While his prose has sharpened over time, Abu-Jamal remains enraged and pessimistic about an America that, in his view, remains wholly corrupt: ‘[Blacks] know from bitter experience that while Americans may say one thing, they mean something quite different.’” —Kirkus Reviews “Hope and the seeds of revolution can come from the depths of isolation. Writing from his cell on death row, where he was held in solitary confinement for nearly 30 years, Abu-Jamal has long been a loud and clear voice for all who suffer injustice, racism, and poverty. Edited by Fernandez, this selection of 100 previously unpublished essays includes a foreword by Cornel West.” —Evan Karp, SF Weekly “The power of his voice is rooted in his defiance of those determined to silence him. Magically, Mumia’s words are clarified, purified by the toxic strata of resistance they must penetrate to reach us.
