A seminal work that combines ground-breaking philosophy with
searing flights of memoir, Afropessimism presents the tenets of an
increasingly influential intellectual movement that theorises
blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Rather than
interpreting slavery through a Marxist framework of class
oppression, Frank B. Wilderson III, demonstrates that the social
construct of slavery is hardly a relic of the past but an almost
necessary force in our civilisation that flourishes today, and that
Black struggles cannot be conflated with the experiences of any
other oppressed group. In mellifluous prose, he juxtaposes his
seemingly idyllic Minneapolis upbringing with the harshness later
encountered, whether in Berkeley or Soweto. Afropessimism
reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world
we inhabit.
