Trajectories in Race and Diaspora

This special issue intersects race and diaspora in a global context, presenting essays that explore the entangled histories of slavery, indentured servitude, and anticolonial resistance.
Contributors consider how race—an ontological category born of violence—produces edges, wounds, or incisions that nurture opportunities for further ontological transgressions. Resisting a narrative of continuity and linear phases, the authors reveal discontinuous, disjointed, and rupturous experiences of time, many of which exist outside history's fixed archive.
