Description

Stolen Life by Fred Moten is a monumental work that challenges traditional notions of identity and analysis. As the second volume in his landmark trilogy "consent not to be a single being", this book presents a powerful case for blackness as a category of analysis. Through an expansive exploration of black life, collective refusal of social death, and academic freedom, Moten undertakes a critical examination of the intersections between thought, writing, pedagogy, non-neurotypicality, and notions of freedom. His work models black study as a form of social life through engagements with key thinkers such as Fanon, Hartman, and Spillers. Moten's criticism is marked by its force and creativity, reminding us of the continued necessity of interrogating blackness as a form of sociality. This book will be of interest to those seeking to understand the complexities of black thought and analysis.
