Abstract

In her important book, In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (2016), Christina Sharpe encourages Black scholars to “imagine otherwise” in order to do justice to the painful legacies contained in the archive. In this provocation, I consider the ramifications that Sharpe’s argument might have for editorial scholarship and finish with an invitation to re-examine the boundary between editing and adaptation.
