<p><em>The Royal Crescent </em>is a hybrid work of memoir, philosophy, and psychogeography. Moving between South Africa, Bath, and London, the aftermath of a relationship begins the tracing of racial taxonomy to its origin, not in the psyche but in the land. The Roman <em>castrum</em>, the Latin word for a 'cut' of territory, reappears across two thousand years of stone and language. Departing from Afropessimism's despair without abandoning its rigour, the book argues that the boundary inscribes rather than describes a difference, that the cut is in the middle of something continuous. An account of shame, <em>The Royal Crescent </em>asks what it means to love learning when the language that one thinks in was built to keep them out.</p>
