In this original and trenchant work, Christina Sharpe interrogates literary, visual, cinematic, and quotidian representations of Black life that comprise what she calls the "orthography of the wake." Activating multiple registers of "wake"--the path behind a ship, keeping watch with the dead, coming to consciousness--Sharpe illustrates how Black lives are swept up and animated by the afterlives of slavery, and she delineates what survives despite such insistent violence and negation. Initiating and describing a theory and method of reading the metaphors and materiality of "the wake," "the ship," "the hold," and "the weather," Sharpe shows how the sign of the slave ship marks and haunts contemporary Black life in the diaspora and how the specter of the hold produces conditions of containment, regulation, and punishment, but also something in excess of them. In the weather, Sharpe situates anti-Blackness and white supremacy as the total climate that produces premature Black death as normative. Formulating the wake and "wake work" as sites of artistic production, resistance, consciousness, and possibility for living in diaspora, In the Wake offers a way forward.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Quality
Size: King (Pack of 2)
Great quality and definitely worth the money. The cooling effect actually works with the pillow. Extremely comfortable, not too squishy and not too firm. To me, it feels very supportive.

Very comfortable, luxurious, and affordable.
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Great pillow. Feels soft enough for comfort while being cool and cozy. There could be more filling to make it slightly more firm but otherwise a great pillow.

Memory Foam Pillows
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
recently purchased the OSBED Cooling Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow, and it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. One of my favorite features is the adjustable fill, which allowed me to customize the height and firmness to perfectly support my neck and shoulders. Whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper, it’s easy to find a comfortable setup.
The cooling cover does a great job of preventing heat buildup throughout the night, which is a huge plus for anyone who tends to sleep warm. The shredded memory foam provides excellent support while still feeling soft and comfortable, and it doesn’t flatten out like some traditional pillows.
