Colored People Time: A Case for (Casual) Rebellion
Time has never moved the same for everyone.
In Colored People Time, Manny Fidel explores how race, culture, and history shape not only our lives, but our sense of time itself. Through sharp, personal, and often humorous essays, Fidel interrogates the myth of linear progress, the politics of punctuality, and some of the ways people of color are forced to navigate a world that rarely moves at their pace or in their favor.
Whether it's a tongue-in-cheek argument that "CPT" should be legislatively supported, ruminations on our longing to return to the summer of 2016, or reflections about mortality through the advent of video game innovations, Fidel confronts the systems that structure time around identity and power. From the slow churn of racial justice to the private time loops of memory, nostalgia, grief, and joy, this book acts as an invitation to readers to question whether they are aware of the way time folds around them.
Colored People Time isn't solely about lateness. It's about how time works differently depending on who you are and where you stand.
