\u201cFurtive Blackness<\/a>\u201d is theory that argues that Black people are rendered both in and outside of law\u2014in, insofar as being reachable by its disciplinary arms, but outside of the full scope of its constitutional protections\u2014while \u201cthe afterlives of slavery\u201d refers to the following quote by Saidya Hartman:<\/p>\n

If slavery persists as an issue in the political life of black America, it is not because of an antiquarian obsession with bygone days or the burden of a too-long memory, but because black lives are still imperiled and devalued by a racial calculus and a political arithmetic that were entrenched centuries ago. This is the afterlife of slavery–skewed life chances, limited access to health and education, premature death, incarceration, and impoverishment.<\/em><\/p>\n
