This special issue of "South Atlantic Quarterly" brings together
scholars from a range of disciplines--including philosophy,
anthropology, and literature--who are committed to thinking about
the condition of contemporary black life. Moving among Africa, the
United States, and the Caribbean, this issue demonstrates the
vibrancy and historical roots of Africana thought and philosophy.
One essay reveals the intricate richness of Africana thought,
moving through psychoanalysis, folktales, Western metaphysics, and
a critique of the political. Another essay offers a cautionary tale
about the prospects for black life in the United States, even in
the wake of Barack Obama's historic political victory. A third
essay argues that a "dead zone"--a place where black lives are
lost, where hopes are dashed, where history has failed the black
subject--exists between the black elite and the disenfranchised
black underclass. Still another essay addresses how the discourse
about the political has triumphed over everything else in
considerations of colonialism and its aftermath and proposes that a
turn to culture might offer a new thinking of black futures.
