Artykuł poświęcony jest „Black Metamorphosis. New Natives in the New World”, nieopublikowanemu manuskryptowi autorstwa Sylvii Wynter, napisanemu w latach 1971–1982. Na początku przedstawiam kluczowe cechy monografii i odnoszę się do dwóch argumentów Wynter. Pierwszy z nich stwierdza, że ortodoksyjny marksizm powiela redukcjonistyczną logikę kapitalizmu, a przez to nie jest w stanie wyjaśnić eksploatacji reprodukcji i niewolniczej pracy. Drugi argument, związany z rewolucyjną rolą rdzennie czarnej kultury, pozwala Wynter analizować nie tylko kapitalizm, ale także wszechobecną burżuazyjną „kulturę produkcji”. Tekst Wynter pokazuje, że konieczny jest powrót do wczesnej nowożytności, aby zrozumieć współczesną historię zakorzenioną w społecznych formach kolonialnego kapitalizmu i burżuazyjnym kodom imperialnej Europy. Przyglądając się zmarginalizowanym praktykom kulturowym, Wynter ujawnia siłę alternatywnych sposobów istnienia, które stały się podstawą współczesnych rewolucyjnych ruchów społecznych. Aby omówić znaczenie jej propozycji, zestawiam ją z bardziej współczesnymi pojęciami ważnymi dla myśli czarnej i dekolonialnej: „podziemne dobra wspóle” (undercommons) i abolicja.
