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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wilderson, Frank B., $c III, $d 1956- 650 0 $a African American intellectuals $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American college teachers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Black race $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Black race $x Psychology. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a Political activists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a College teachers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racism. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018015046.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011151.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061656.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200604010520.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010213.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3436220C8C3A11EAB4A2F82B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
