Description
reframing Exodus: American Futures from Du Bois to Obama by Anna Hartnell explores the concept of liberation through the lens of pivotal black thinkers. This study traces the evolution of the exodus narrative in the context of African American struggles against racism and its significance for contemporary America. The author examines how the exodus story has been used as a powerful allegory, drawing parallels with the experiences of exile following Hurricane Katrina and the election of Barack Obama in 2008. By placing black America at the center of the study of U.S. culture, Hartnell offers new perspectives on America's relationship with the Middle East and the wider postcolonial world. This groundbreaking work marks a vital new chapter in American cultural and political history, shedding light on the intellectual development of one of the defining narratives of black American thinking on social justice.
