Sylvia Wynter, circa 1972.

[lowendtheory]

i dug this photo up from the institute of the black world archives (at the schomburg center) in 2010. i was wynter’s research assistant at the time. i lived then, as now, in oakland, california, and three times a week made the long aggravating commute from the lower bottoms in west oakland to the wynter’s house in the oakland hills

i was also writing a chapter on wynter for my dissertation. hence me finding this photo, in the midst of an intense two weeks of through and cataloguing documents, including an unpublished 900+ page manuscript wynter had written.

i took this photo of wynter’s picture then. when i got back to oakland, i showed it to her, with no prompting.

her response was with a characteristic wynterian curiosity:

“is that me?”

the photo ultimately became the cover of the great katherine mckittricks volume on wynter. i’m proud to have made a tiny contribution to that wonderful work.
