Quick note - this is a preview, the full interview will be released shortly Dr Sinanan and I get into her background and connect these heritages back to the ongoing genocide (and revolution) happening in Gaza. Dr Sinanan is currently working to produce a new edition of The History of Mary Prince (1831) https://ageofrevolutions.com/2020/06/10/blm-2020-breathing-resistance-and-the-war-against-enslavement/ Calls to defund or abolish the police at this level during BLM 2020, represented a new aspect of these protests, one that asks us to consider the protests themselves as part of the centuries-long continuum of slave rebellion.   https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol13/iss1/11/ "Mary Prince’s Undisciplining Lessons: Counter-Narrative and Testimonio in The History," ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830: Vol.13: Iss.1, Article 11. This essay discusses teaching The History of Mary Prince at a Hispanic Serving Institution via Ethnic Studies praxis. It develops Nicole Aljoe’s definition of Prince’s narrative as counter-story and testimonio and explores the undisciplining effects of reading Prince’s history as relevant to the lives of Borderlands students. To understand the multiple meanings of “undisciplining’ this essay draws on the theory of Sylvia Wynter and shows how Prince’s testimonio offers an alternative to Western epistemologies via communal resistance and resurgence. Several pedagogic tools are explored for teaching Prince in this way.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBNB8pN0sA What does it mean to learn, think with, and remember the Middle Passage? Artist KING COBRA (documented as Doreen Lynette Garner) and Dr. Kerry Sinanan discuss contemporary and historical glass, the violence of consumption, and the transatlantic slave trade.
