@kingnegritude Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's book is really important to think about the questions of the undercommons and fugitivity especially in a university setting. In my article, I draw on work such as Neil Roberts (freedom as marronage), CLR James (The Black Jacobins), Anton de Kom (We Slaves of Suriname) and many other fabulous work. The #BlackRadicalTradition is so so valuable and needs to widely read by communication and STS scholars.

My article on fugitive infrastructure is out! It draws from the #BlackRadicalTradition in theory and praxis, and takes an anti-colonial lens to enrich the history of the Internet Ping me for a copy #Decolonial #Internet #history https://tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23802014.2022.2140190
