This is a critique that is based on a politics of representation and a logic of inclusion. While representation and inclusion are necessary for addressing certain matters, they are not enough to transform the norms and epistemologies of power and decision-making. For further discussion on this, see Denise Ferreira da Silva, Toward a Global Idea of Race (University of Minnesota Press, 2007).
Here, “potentiation” refers to the shaping of potential under conditions of uncertainty.

Michelle Ann Stephens, Skin Acts: Race, Psychoanalysis, and the Black Male Performer (Duke University Press, 2014). Here, Stephens is building on Hortense Spillers’s conceptualization of the flesh in “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe: An American Grammar Book,” Diacritics 17, no. 2 (Summer 1987). As Spillers insightfully states, “Before the ‘body’ there is ‘flesh,’ that zero degree of social conceptualization that does not escape concealment under the brush of discourse or the reflexes of iconography” (67).
