| Summary: | "Fugitive Science excavates this story, uncovering the dynamic scientific engagements and experiments of African American writers, performers, and other cultural producers who mobilized natural science and produced alternative knowledges in the quest for and name of freedom. Literary and cultural critics have a particularly important role to play in uncovering the history of fugitive science since these engagements and experiments often happened, not in the laboratory or the university, but in print, on stage, in the garden, church, parlor, and in other cultural spaces and productions. Routinely excluded from the official spaces of scientific learning and training, black cultural actors transformed the spaces of the everyday into laboratories of knowledge and experimentation"...Introduction |

ugitive Science chronicles a little-known story about race and sci ence inAmerica. Traversing the archives of antebellum black lit erature, performance, and visual culture, Britt Rusert uncovers the experiments of a group of writers, performers, and artists who crafted and enacted sophisticated critiques of racial science. While the history of scientific racism in the nineteenth century has been well documented, there was also a counter-movement of African Americans who worked to refute its claims. Far from rejecting science, these figures linked a variety of fields— from astronomy and ethnology to physiology and even phrenology—to both on-the-ground activism and more speculative forms of knowledge creation. Largely excluded from institutions of scientific learning and training, they transformed spaces like the page, the stage, and the parlor into laboratories of experimentation. Ranging from the recovery of neglected figures like Robert Benjamin Lewis, Hosea Easton, and Sarah Mapps Douglass, to new accounts of Martin Delany, Henry Box Brown, and Frederick Douglass, Fugitive Science makes natural science central to how we understand the origins and development of African American literature and culture. This timely and fascinating book will spark interest from anyone wishing to learn more about the entangled histories of race and science in society.
