I HATED the part in the beginning when Titubaβs mom defends herself against rape and in turn gets hung?! #readingtweet #sqsf
"Nothing ever dies" is kind of an odd statement when taken at face value, but when viewed in the context of Beloved it becomes very reasonable that many generational traumas are not something that can be easily forgotten. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
βThere will be no future without this. Not without Marx, no future without Marx, without the memory and the inheritance of Marx: in any case of a certain Marx, of his genius, of at least one of his spirits.β
marx isnβt gonna fuck you bro π

The ending of the novel is very tragic, which intensifies the inability of the slaves to change the world that is fundamentally fixed to suppress them so that their rebellion is futile since only the suppressed group is trying to change it. #sqsf #readingtweet
The main thing I notice when Benjamin and Tituba talk of their oppression, Benjamin is able to "beat" Tituba through the use of history, something that was taken from Tituba's people. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
HESTER PRYNNE oh my god when worlds collide... big fan of the more blatantly anti-patriarchal characterization of hester in Tituba. see:
ββYour father?β Her lip curled up in irritation. βYou accepted the name a man gave you?ββ
sheβs a queen i think

Tituba seems to be a woman constantly wallowing in self-pity. She is fully aware of how she is badly treated as a black woman, and she keeps thinking about revenge or stand up for herself, but she never really takes any actions. #sqsf #ReadingTweet
This quote really speaks to me for whatever reason. These people who owe nothing to society; who have had their livelihoods, homes, and cultures taken from them still feel the impending guilt of being non-productive that our society imposes on everyone. #ReadingTweet
I think it really says something about how oppressive culture can be that people feel they need to join a vampire cult to express their sexuality. Like if that's their kink, cool, but I don't really know if it's like that for a lot of these people. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
marxβs comparison of capitalism to a blood sucking entity perfectly encapsulates our loss of individualism as consumers+workers in the capitalist machine #sqsf #readingtweet
I find it really funny that True Blood has such heavy handed commentary on judging groups of people while villainizing/looking down on "uppity women", drug traffickers, and sex workers. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
βMany told me that any corpse not too old to work would do.β This quote by Hurston highlights the similarities between zombies and enslaved individuals. Both were evaluated by a measure of vitality and strength, without regards for their value as people. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
Both Annie Palmer and the voodoo master from White Zombie utilized voodoo to tighten their grip on their plantations. I'm not really sure how to describe this other than extremely colonial. #ReadingTweet #ViewingTweet
the main thing I feel coming out of Victor Halperin's "White Zombie" is... confusion. Why did the zombies throw themselves into the ocean? Were they fooled into it? Did they attain a hint of agency and use it to end their suffering? Was it a bit of both? #ReadingTweet #SQSF
In Columbusβ Journal it was apparent that he was exploiting the natives and making them look bad just so that he could gain fame and fortune. I canβt believe we have a holiday for this selfish prick. #readingtweet #sqsf
If I have learned anything so far, it is how much male authors tend to fear the unknown. Very interesting that De Lisser's "White Witch of Rose Hall" features an ambitious female character that does not fit European familial roles as the witch. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
I feel like the line "It appeared to me to be a race of people very poor in everything," is a great way to sum up colonialism. The blatant projection of measures of worth without the slightest effort to understand a different culture is pretty gross. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
The confessions of "witches" in Europe seem to be yet another case of history being written by the victor. We will never have an account from these so-called witches that are not fabrications or admissions under duress. #SQSF #ReadingTweet
