The history of the contemporary is a history of crisis most centrally, the twinned crises of environmental destruction and anti-Black violence.Transscalar Critiqueargues that contemporary Black literature navigates this crisis by taking a transscalar approach, understanding crisis as working on multiple scales simultaneously, from the molecular to the geological, from the economic to the aesthetic. As a consequence, this book proposes transscalar critique as a mode of literary criticism. Organized around specific crises and authors,Transscalar Critiqueargues that crisis offers a window into how competing analytical, artistic, and planetary frameworks collide. In a moment of crisis, questions of race, geology, politics, epistemology, and ontology are brought into focus in surprising and unexpected ways andTransscalar Critiqueuses the literary, critical, and public policy responses to these events to reveal connections between the human and nonhuman worlds.
