   Abstract = {This article employs the tools of Black Studies to critical
             engage Assata: An Autobiography, by Assata Shakur and
             aspects of Shakur’s political legacy. Specifically, this
             article draws upon Black feminist critiques of gender theory
             to interrogate how Assata and the altering of Shakur’s
             image elucidate the distinction between Human and Black
             gender. Thus, I argue the antiblack nature of the
             (un)gendering of Shakur, which extends from the text into
             the present, demonstrates the unrelenting hold of slavery on
             its after/life. In this respect, inheriting Black Studies
             must contend with the irreconcilability of antiblack (un)gendering
             violence as it expands beyond the individual into
             Blackness.},

   Abstract = {<jats:p> This article interrogates the dissent by Justice
             Sonia Sotomayor in Utah v. Strieff, a Fourth Amendment case
             on lawful police searches, to track the political
             assumptions that undergird conceptions of the legal
             boundaries of police search and seizures. Specifically, the
             author examines how the vestiges of slavery structure both
             the constitutive elements of how bodily autonomy and freedom
             from physical invasion is understood under the law. Thus, by
             employing critical Black Studies in tension with affect
             theory, this article questions what limits are present in
             the law that reify, even or especially through dissent, the
             ontological arrangements of slavery and its afterlife.

   Abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This article
             offers a close reading of <jats:italic>The Order of
             Things</jats:italic> by Michael Foucault and
             <jats:italic>The Human Condition</jats:italic> by Hannah
             Arendt, to argue that the positioning of the Human within
             scientific and political thought necessitates an
             underscoring of violence as it relates to blackness. This
             position interrogates how Arendt positions slavery in the
             Greek <jats:italic>polis</jats:italic> and the Roman
             <jats:italic>res republica</jats:italic> to establish her
             foci on modern political life. I offer an analysis of
             <jats:italic>Prigg v. The Commonwealth of
             Pennsylvania</jats:italic>, as complicating Arendt’s
             political dichotomy, by shifting focus to the legal history
             of US American slavery. <jats:italic>Prigg</jats:italic>
             rewrites and establishes the demarcations of US Federal and
             State law. However, the majority opinion and dissents make
             fleeting reference to the fugitive slave in question,
             Margaret Morgan, and the possibility that she may have been
             sexually violated while being forcibly returned to slavery.
             I conclude that the contours of this case, specifically the
             erasure of sexual violence, demonstrate how racial slavery
             provides contexts to modern political life not explored by
             Arendt’s primary concern with slavery in
             antiquity.</jats:p>},
