"Taken as a trilogy, consent not to be a single being is a
monumental accomplishment: a brilliant theoretical intervention
that might be best described as a powerful case for blackness as a
category of analysis."-Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies:
Jazz and the Literary Imagination In Black and Blur-the first
volume in his sublime and compelling trilogy consent not to be a
single being-Fred Moten engages in a capacious consideration of the
place and force of blackness in African diaspora arts, politics,
and life. In these interrelated essays, Moten attends to
entanglement, the blurring of borders, and other practices that
trouble notions of self-determination and sovereignty within
political and aesthetic realms. Black and Blur is marked by
unlikely juxtapositions: Althusser informs analyses of rappers Pras
and Ol' Dirty Bastard; Shakespeare encounters Stokely Carmichael;
thinkers like Kant, Adorno, and Jose Esteban Munoz and artists and
musicians including Thornton Dial and Cecil Taylor play off each
other. Moten holds that blackness encompasses a range of social,
aesthetic, and theoretical insurgencies that respond to a shared
modernity founded upon the sociological catastrophe of the
transatlantic slave trade and settler colonialism. In so doing, he
unsettles normative ways of reading, hearing, and seeing, thereby
reordering the senses to create new means of knowing.
