Requests:  0 Summary:  "In the tradition of Edward Said's Orientalism and Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks, Afropessimism is an unparalleled account of the non-analogous experience of being Black. A seminal work that strikingly combines groundbreaking philosophy with searing flights of memoir, Afropessimism presents the tenets of an increasingly influential intellectual movement that theorizes blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Rather than interpreting slavery through a Marxist framework of class oppression, Frank B. Wilderson III, "a truly indispensable thinker" (Fred Moten), demonstrates that the social construct of slavery, as seen through pervasive, anti-black subjugation and violence, is hardly a relic of the past but an almost necessary force in our civilization that flourishes today, and that Black struggles cannot be conflated with the experiences of any other oppressed group. In mellifluous prose, Wilderson juxtaposes his seemingly idyllic upbringing in halcyon midcentury Minneapolis with the harshness that he would later encounter, whether in radicalized, late-1960s Berkeley or in the slums of Soweto. Following in the rich literary tradition of works by DuBois, Malcolm X and Baldwin, Afropessimism reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world we inhabit"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 378.12092 Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.12092 Wilderson Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
