Dismantling the Master's Clock on Race, Space, and Time
On Race, Space, and Time
Book •
Rasheedah Phillips' "Dismantling the Master's Clock" explores the intricate relationship between time, race, and space.
The book challenges the dominant Western linear perception of time, arguing that it's deeply intertwined with systems of oppression.
Phillips draws on various disciplines, including history, philosophy, and quantum physics, to illustrate how conventional timekeeping reinforces racial inequalities.
She examines the historical construction of time zones and their impact on Black communities, highlighting the concept of 'color people's time' as a manufactured stereotype.
Ultimately, the book advocates for alternative, more equitable ways of understanding and experiencing time.
