'Expansive . . . reminds us that the ultimate aim of Black freedom
quests is, indeed, universal liberation' Angela Y. Davis 'There is
a movement from a suffering black consciousness to a liberatory
Black consciousness in which revelation of the dirty laundry and
fraud of white supremacy and black inferiority is a dreaded truth'
Lewis Gordon, one of the leading scholars of Black Existentialism,
has spent decades putting philosophical thought at the heart of
activism for racial justice around the world. In this boldly
original book, he delves into history, art, politics and popular
culture to show how the process of racialization - and its absence
- affects not only how individuals and society perceive black
people but also how black people perceive themselves. Fear of Black
Consciousness traces the ways in which the lived experience of
black people has been rendered invisible in the Western world and
the breadth of rich cultural expression that encapsulates the truth
nonetheless - from ancient African languages to films such as Get
Out and Black Panther. Gordon offers a stunning philosophical and
social critique while highlighting the fundamental role of Black
people as agents of history and of the social change required to
build a humane world of dignity, freedom and respect.
