On Breath and Blackness: Living and Dying in the Wake of the Virus

Michael J. Kennedy University of South Carolina

Abstract

ABSTRACT The calls for us to find solace in our “together-apart-ness” obfuscate the calamity of Black lives being lost in numbers exponentially higher than white bodies. In the midst of a virus that “does not discriminate,” but is aided in its deadly spread by those systems that do, the concept of “wake work” demands our time and attention.
