"When Martin Luther King Jr. argued on behalf of civil rights he was told that he was "too soon." Today, those demanding reparations for slavery are told they are "too late." What time is it? Or perhaps the appropriate question is: whose time is it? These questions point to a phenomenon of segregated time: how a range of political subjects are viewed as occupants of different time zones, how experiences of time diverge across peoples, and how these divergent temporal spheres are mutually entwined in ways that serve the interests of white supremacy. In this innovative inquiry into the contemporary race of segregated time, P.J. Brendese takes a time-sensitive approach to race as it pertains to dynamic identity formation, competition for resources, and the acceleration of human disposability. The book draws on a range of Africana, Latinx and Indigenous political thought to elucidate the way in which time is weaponized against people of color who are regarded as moving too fast. Segregated Time advances a theory of white time as a possessive, acquisitive, colonizing force whereby racial others are apprehended as chronically "out of time" and compelled to live on borrowed time. The chapters explore racialized temporal impositions on who does time in "our" time, how the extended lifetimes of some are built on the foreshortened lives of others, the temporal borders of migration politics, how racial stigma conveys debt and "subprime time," and how whiteness functions as a store of credit through time. The book closes by reflecting on the irony in which many who see the potential end of white supremacy as apocalyptic simultaneously deny the apocalyptic threats of climate change. The consequence is a race toward an endtime that present-day polities disavow at their own peril"--
