520    "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"--|cProvided by
