Second volume of the Afterwords series, dedicated to young African intellectuals and those from the diaspora, Black Time is a profound and original meditation born from the encounter between an Afro-descendant writer and the city of Venice.

Through a journey across alleyways, islands, churches, and exhibitions, Venice becomes a portal through which Fatin Abbas reflects on today's major issues—from power dynamics between the Global North and South to the tragedies of war and genocide, from patriarchy to our relationship with nature and the environment, from cosmopolitanism to the frontlines of migration. She particularly focuses on the concept of time, in its various geographical and cultural dimensions.

A book that guides us with clarity and grace through the thoughts of a new generation—the one that will shape our future.
