| Description: |
An historically informed exploration of the effects of racism on black bodies, minds and spirits - where structures, meanings, violence and power have their most insidious effects. The book examines how it feels to be the subject of racism. |
| Synopsis: |
Radical and provocative, Racism and the Black Subject is not another objectivist history or sociology of racism, but an historically informed exploration of the effects of racism on Black bodies, minds and spirits - where structures, meanings, violence and power have their most insidious effects. It is a disturbing journey guided by voices from the slave ship, the plantation, the lynching tree and the ghetto. The main sources are narratives, autobiographies, poetry, spirituals, blues and visual art, and the author's own experience as an African-American.Racism and the Black Subject rejects outright the orthodoxy that sees subjectivity as the product of language. It argues, with some assistance from Fanon and Foucault, that Black Subjects have been constituted as much through violence and brutality as through words and meanings. This book is essential reading for those who want to understand racism and its victims. |
