Abstract: This article engages with questions that refuse the dominant registers of despair and recognition that describe the conditions Black early childhood educators experience daily. It asks: How might early childhood education attend to the textures and excesses of livingness beyond dominant registers? What needs to take place in early childhood education so that glimpses of Black freedom permeate these lifeless registers? What places might we search, what stories might we tell, what might we need to remember in order to imagine glimpses of Black freedom? In the company of feminist Black scholars, we work with Katherine McKittrick’s analytics of opacity, Rinaldo Walcott’s glimpses of Black freedom, and Christina Sharpe’s praxis of the wake. Our intention is to (re)story the early childhood education archive (always already founded in anti-Blackness) and reinvent it by attending to Black life, and, through this process, imagine capacious and lively registers.
