A little bit of background: the term "tar Baby" has been used to talk about bad situations that are made worse by struggling, like a being caught in quicksand or a tar pit. The original source of the term is from the traditional American story of Br'er Rabbit. In this story, a fox gets fed up with Br'er Rabbit, because of the rabbit's wily ways, and the fox devises a plan to catch the rabbit. He decides to create a small human figure out of tar. He leaves the "tar baby" in the road, and when Br'er Rabbit passes by, he greets the tar baby. Not receiving an answer, Br'er Rabbit gets fed up and tries to punch the tar baby. Br'er Rabbit's arm gets stuck, and the more he tries to struggle the more covered in tar he becomes.

The Tar Baby offers a fresh analysis of a deceptively simple story about a wolf, a rabbit, and a doll made of tar and turpentine. Examining the story's variation and reception, Bryan Wagner argues that the tar baby is best understood not merely as a folktale but as a collective work in political philosophy. Circulating at the same time and in the same places as new ideas about property and politics developed in colonial law and political economy, the story embodies an understanding of the interlocking processes by which custom was criminalized, slaves were captured, and labor was bought and sold.
The Divided Self kick-started my search for the truth of the human condition. It taught me that I didn't have to follow the life laid out for me and that I was expected to follow. Through it I discovered that I was not the only person trapped in a world and struggling to make sense of the bizarre and contradictory reality around me, that lied and lied about existence continually. Further books by him reinforced this awareness of the illogic of it all, including The Politics of Experience, The Self and Others, and Knots. I was Brer Rabbit, caught in the honey trap of the tar baby and this book showed me that.
