Future
1: “a matter of keeping the past at Bay” (Morrison, 42); 2: something to imagine, for Hartman; 3:What is still to come; 4: (children), what one is given when they ask for love (Walker, 405)
For enslaved women, futures were often concieved in the form of children that they did not consent to, via rape by their enslavers and others. Futures may have looked looked like: "Her body broken and forced to bear children (who were more often than not sold away from her)-eight, ten, fifteen, twenty children when her one joy was the thought of modeling heroic figures of rebellion" (Walker, 405) or “reproducing the condition of unfreedom” (Cooper, 157).
