Moving away from the domain of commemorative, iconicity,
monumentalization, and memorialization, Sithole uses Steve Biko's
meditations as a discursive intervention to understand black
subjectivity. The epistemological shift of this book is not to be
bogged down by the cataloging of events, something that is popular
in the literature of Steve Biko and Black Consciousness. Rather, a
theoretical imagination and conceptual invention is engaged upon in
order to situate Biko within the existential repertoire of
blackness as a site of subjectivity and not the object of study.
The theoretical imagination and conceptual invention fosters an
interpretive approach and an ongoing critique that cannot reach any
epistemic closure. This is what decolonial meditations are all
about, opening up new vistas of thought and new modes of critique
informed by epistemic breaks from "empirical absolutism" that
reduce Biko to an epistemic catalogue. It is in Steve Biko:
Decolonial Meditations of Black Consciousness that the black
subject is engaged not only in the politics of criticism for its
own sake, but philosophy of existence.
