Antiblackness investigates the ways in which the dehumanization of
Black people has been foundational to the establishment of
modernity. Drawing on Black feminism, Afropessimism, and critical
race theory, the book's contributors trace forms of antiblackness
across time and space, from nineteenth-century slavery to the
categorization of Latinx in the 2020 census, from South Africa and
Palestine to the Chickasaw homelands, from the White House to
convict lease camps, prisons, and schools. Among other topics, they
examine the centrality of antiblackness in the introduction of
Carolina rice to colonial India, the presence of Black people and
Native Americans in the public discourse of precolonial Korea, and
the practices of denial that obscure antiblackness in contemporary
France. Throughout, the contributors demonstrate that any analysis
of white supremacy---indeed, of the world---that does not contend
with antiblackness is incomplete. Contributors. Mohan Ambikaipaker,
