Tendayi Sithole

Steve Biko

Decolonial Meditations of Black Consciousness

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Moving away from the domain of idolization and veneration, Sithole situates Steve Biko within the existential repertoire of blackness as a site of subjectivity and not the object of study. Through an exploration of Biko's meditations, Sithole introduces Biko to readers as a decolonial philosopher, someone more than just a biographical subject.
