Abstract
This project relies upon the theoretical contributions of Black radical feminist scholars including Saidiya Hartman and her work, entitled, Scenes of Subjection: Terror Slavery, and Self-Making in Nineteenth-Century America. It utilizes Hartman’s concept of the “afterlife of slavery” to examine the formations of discipline and punishment in the K-12 school system inorder to imagine possibilities of escape, while also re-imagining the site of the school ground as a place of possibility.
