The Sister, the Child, the Ghost: On Radical Blackness as Spiritual Calling
Proceeds from the purchase of this trilogy directly support the work of BADS_lab.
Fugitive Erotics explores erotic desire as a dynamic, world-making force that resists containment and (re-)creates sensuality and intimacy in the break. Rejecting the reduction of desire to mere individual longing, it reframes desire as àṣẹ — a force that makes things happen — arising at the crossroads of systemic violence, relational entanglement, and the in-/re-surgences of the flesh. By tracing desire across three interconnected scales — the sub-molecular, molecular, and molar — this work shows how domination dismembers bodies and relations, while also illuminating practices that transform rupture into aperture.
The Null Hypothesis is a collection of three essays that ask what it means to live beneath the grid of power, and what forms of thought and relation might survive there. One names the machine. One tracks how the machine feels from inside a body marked for disposal. One asks what kind of thought can operate beneath or beside the machine's logic altogether. Together they move from diagnosis to phenomenology to method, synthesizing Black radical theory with mathematics and sonic practice - not toward resolution, because resolution is what Empire demands. Toward something else.
The Sister, the Child, the Ghost argues that radical Blackness is a spiritual calling rooted in an originary act of refusal. A pregnant enslaved woman jumps from a slave ship into the Atlantic. That leap — not fall, not push, but choice — is the gesture that explains everything that follows. Drawing on Glissant's poetics of relation, Brathwaite's tidalectics, Sharpe's wake work, Manjapra's Black Ghost of Empire, the essay traces what the Sister's leap set in motion: a people forged in the hold, a counterspell propagating through marronage and music across six centuries, a Ghost the machine declared eliminated and that has never stopped growing.
