Fear Of Black Consciousness Av Lewis R. Gordon

''Important . . . powerful . . . . an explanation of why Black protest is such a dangerous prospect to the white power structure'' Kehinde Andrews, GuardianWhere is the path to racial justice? In this ground-breaking book, philosopher Lewis R. Gordon ranges over history, art and pop culture - from ancient African languages to the film Get Out - to show why the answer lies not just in freeing Black bodies from the fraud of white supremacy, but in freeing all of our minds. Building on the influential work of Frantz Fanon and W. E. B. Du Bois, Fear of Black Consciousness is a vital contribution to our conversations on racial politics, identity and culture. ''Expansive . . . reminds us that the ultimate aim of Black freedom quests is, indeed, universal liberation'' Angela Y. Davis
