This book models an ex-centric orientation to the study of modern formation as the study of the hyper-signification ("scripturalization") of difference as racialization/racism. As Black flesh came to be identified as persistent baseline for difference, it opens windows onto mimetic translations ("scripturalizing") of all modern subjectivities.

Wimbush argues that this narrowing of the valence of the term wa...
