We spend this show on the legacies of the peculiar institution of chattel slavery that have led to the social and economic structures we live in and under. We’re in conversation with Saidiya Hartman, an American writer and academic focusing on African-American studies, who just re-released her seminal 1997 book for its 25th anniversary, Scenes of Subjection: Terror, Slavery, and Self-Making in Nineteenth-Century America. She is currently a University Professor at Columbia University.
