This book highlights and explores in-depth the moral and conceptual problems invoked by the continued use of “blackness” and “black” as modern identity realities for continental and diaspora Africans (CADA).
The book deals with the importance of identity and theories of change and their systemic and structural consequences. It presents the phenomenological analysis of “blackness” and the body, and the epistemic and epistemological questions that continue to make “blackness” a relevant social reality today. The author ultimately demonstrates how human conditions are existential situations that can be critiqued and addressed without invoking “blackness” as an explanatory concept, theory or condition.
A key volume which addresses important questions of change, power, and modern racial identities, it will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in race and ethnicity, Black studies, racism and colour-based identities, critical theory, social theory, postcolonialism, and epistemic freedom.
