In \u003cem\u003eThe Light Keepers\u003c\/em\u003e, Jessica Marie Johnson traces this radical tradition through the centuries-long prism of American empire, from the holds of slave ships to contemporary digital worlds, showing that there is nothing finished or settled about how Black women understand time, trauma, and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending personal narrative, archival fragments, and ancestral wisdom, Johnson reframes Black women not as subjects of history but as archivists and historians. Against erasure, against shame, against death itself, Black women have transformed the bitterest waters of history into tools for living, loving, and imagining freedom. \u003cem\u003eThe Light Keepers\u003c\/em\u003e offers readers a daring new way to think about the past--and a powerful lesson in how knowledge is made when survival demands it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Marie Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 132409382X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324093824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
