In Of Effacement, David Marriott endeavors to demolish established
opinion about what blackness is and reorient our understanding of
what it is not in art, philosophy, autobiography, literary theory,
political theory, and psychoanalysis. With the critical rigor and
polemical bravura which he displayed in Whither Fanon? Marriott
here considers the relationships between language, judgement and
effacement, and shows how effacement has become the dominant force
in anti-blackness. Both skeptically and emphatically, Marriott
presents a series of radical philosophical engagements with Fanon's
"is not" (n'est pas) and its "black" political truth. How does one
speak—let alone represent—that which is without existence? Is
blackness n'est pas because it has yet to be thought as blackness?
And if so, when Fanon writes of blackness, that it is n'est pas (is
not), where should one look to make sense of this n'est pas?
Marriott anchors these questions by addressing the most fundamental
perennial questions concerning the nature of freedom, resistance,
mastery, life, and liberation, via a series of analyses of such key
figures as Huey Newton, Nietzsche, Malcolm X, Edward Said, Georges
Bataille, Stuart Hall, and Lacan. He thus develops the basis for a
reading of blackness by recasting its effacement as an identity,
while insisting on it as a fundamental question for philosophy.
