"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 Stolen Life-the second volume
in his landmark trilogy consent not to be a single being-Fred Moten
undertakes an expansive exploration of blackness as it relates to
black life and the collective refusal of social death. The essays
resist categorization, moving from Moten's opening meditation on
Kant, Olaudah Equiano, and the conditions of black thought through
discussions of academic freedom, writing and pedagogy,
non-neurotypicality, and uncritical notions of freedom. Moten also
models black study as a form of social life through an engagement
with Fanon, Hartman, and Spillers and plumbs the distinction
between blackness and black people in readings of Du Bois and Nahum
Chandler. The force and creativity of Moten's criticism resonate
throughout, reminding us not only of his importance as a thinker,
but of the continued necessity of interrogating blackness as a form
of sociality.
