Description

Michelle M. Wright's Physics of Blackness: Beyond the Middle Passage Epistemology explores the concept of Blackness, arguing that it operates as a "when" and a "where" rather than a fixed "what". By combining physics and works on identity from the African Diaspora, Wright examines how Middle Passage epistemology challenges racist assumptions about Blackness.

The book delves into the lives of often-excluded groups, including Black feminists, Black queers, and recent Black African immigrants to the West, to create a more inclusive understanding of Blackness. Wright's approach takes readers on a journey through various disciplines, from physics to contemporary politics of diasporic Blackness.

Accessible and rigorous in its logic, Physics of Blackness offers a fresh perspective on Blackness, one that is both global in its perspective and rigorous in its analysis. This book will change the way you look at Blackness, providing a new understanding of this complex and multifaceted concept.
