Critique of Black Reason

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Eminent critic Achille Mbembe reevaluates history and racism, offering a capacious genealogy of the category of Blacknessâ from the Atlantic slave trade to the presentâ to show how the conjoining of the biological fiction of race with definitions of Blackness have been and continue to be used to uphold oppression.
