Conclusion

Botche Kafe came to Québec with a familial and national history of slavery. His experience of anti-black violence here revealed the ties that linked Québec’s history of slavery with his. He bumped into Québec’s ghosts of slavery. These ghostly encounters compel us to refuse the linear narrative of progress that imposes itself in this so-called post-racial age. The “nonevent of emancipation” allows various forms of subjugation to shape the global landscape (Hartman 1997). Like Hartman, “I believe it requires us to rethink the meaning of abolition, not only as the not-yet, not simply as the event for which we are waiting, but as the daily practice of refusal and waywardness and care in the space of captivity, enclosure, and incarceration” (2016, 214).
