• W2074865175 abstract "African literature has conventionally, if not universally, been under stood as following a distinct timeline. That African literature has its own genealogy and history is readily demonstrated by the existence of a number of current anthologies of African literature, with the Norton only the most well-known. Even when the various anthologies dispute textual selection within and theorizing of the tradition, they concur that African litera ture forms a separate tradition both literarily and temporally and that it ought to be anthologized separately. They all also identify Lucy Terry's 1746 poem Bars Fight as the earliest known work of literature by an African American and believe that it thus starts the African literary tradition (Gates 186). But ascribing a distinct temporality to black people has been far more controversial, and rightly so. To the degree that black people have been perceived to be of another time, they have also quite often been excluded from dominant understandings and constructions of modernity. As Michelle Wright argues, [A] logical fallacy develops in . . . the dialectical [racial] discourses of figures like Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Comte Arthur de Gobineau, and Thomas Jefferson, for whom modern subjectivity was contingent on whiteness and maleness (9). would add that it is contingent on contemporaneity as well?on being in time, or being there: dasein, as Martin Heidegger would term it (148). But the idea that black people inhabit a distinct temporality, albeit an imposed one, has also been advanced by black intellectuals, at least since Frederick Doug lass's 1845 Narrative of the Life. On the very first page of the Narrative, Douglass declares that slaves seldom come nearer their birthdays than planting-time, harvest-time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time (21). Here Douglass counter mands Hegel's notion that slavery functions as the only potential means to bring black people to history, to progress?to modernity. For Douglass, slavery suspends black people in a perpetual laboring season, in an essentially premodern condi tion of serfdom. To adapt Heidegger in this context, dasein in Douglass's view does not describe slave as much as would a term such as arbeit-sein (to be/being in work) or da-arbeiten (working there). Douglass is not alone. Pauline Hopkins, writing at the turn of the twentieth century, begins her novel Hagars Daughter, set in antebellum times, with one slave character saying, Ef live to see the next corn plantin' I'll be twenty-seven, or thirty, or thirty-five, dunno which, and another saying, I was born at sweet per tater time (11). Hopkins's focus on the slave past, and on slave time, in a 1901-02 (serially published) text functions as a political statement about the retrograde state of black civil rights in the postreconstruction era; as Hopkins's narrator puts" @default.
