Refiguring in Black is a meditation on black life, and a
meditation on the questions and concerns with which black life is
confronted. It takes the form of a critical engagement with the
thought of Frederick Douglass, Toni Morrison, Hortense Spillers,
and Charles Mingus – key figures in the black radical tradition.
Sithole does not reduce these thinkers to biographical subjects but
examines them as figures of black thought in ways that are creative
and generative.   Erudite and passionate, this
book is a statement of and testimony to refiguring as a form of
critical practice by those who are engaged in a radical refusal,
and thus part of the long arc of the black radical tradition. As a
way of understanding the contemporary moment and unmasking
antiblackness in all its forms and guises, Sithole’s work brings
the annals of black thought into being in order to think
differently and necessitate rupture, refusing to concede to the
order of things and refusing to be complicit in the dehumanization
that has marked the black condition.
