The book presents an 'abyssal' approach to understanding modernity, emphasizing the violent foundations of colonialism, Indigenous dispossession, and chattel slavery. It critiques the traditional notions of progress and development by highlighting how modernity constructs a division between those with and without ontological security. By focusing on the generative power of negation rather than rescue, it draws on Caribbean experiences and writings to offer a unique perspective that challenges established ontological assumptions and critiques the linearity of modern thought.
