Description

Of Black Study explores how Black intellectuals challenged Western knowledge and created alternative ways of thinking and knowing. This book examines the work of thinkers such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Sylvia Wynter, Jacob Carruthers, and Cedric Robinson, who contributed to the development of Black Studies approaches to knowledge production.

The authors consider how these thinkers broke with traditional academic disciplines and created new paths towards conceptual and epistemological freedom. The book is structured around meditations on the work of June Jordan and Toni Cade Bambara, providing a nuanced understanding of the evolution of Black Studies in the neoliberal university.

By examining the stakes of intellectual freedom and the path towards a new world, Of Black Study offers valuable insights into the contemporary relevance of these ideas. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of knowledge production and its relationship to power and social justice.
