Afropessimism

Afropessimism, a fusion of philosophical rigor and lyrical memoir, offers an unparalleled account of Blackness. It explores the pervasive influence of race on morality and politics, the enduring cycle of slavery, and the prevalence of anti-Black violence globally. Author Frank B. Wilderson’s seminal work presents the tenets of an intellectual movement that views Blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Drawing from philosophical, literary, film, and critical theory, he argues that slavery, despite its historical significance, remains the driving force behind civilization. Unlike other disenfranchised groups, Blacks are uniquely perpetually enslaved in the larger human world, where violence permeates their existence at every level.
