Aprašymas
In the first quarter of this century, intense public attention to anti-Black racism has led to an explosion of social activism and to renewed interest in ideas associated with Black Pessimism and Black Nationalism, as well as to reactionary calls to ban Critical Race Theory altogether. Black/Africana studies has developed a sophisticated range of methodological and theoretical tools for understanding such developments, but these tools remain scattered across book chapters, journal articles, songs, poems, and other forms of cultural expression, and the field itself continues to vacillate on a number of core issues.
In Higher Flight, pre-eminent scholar and activist James B. Stewart offers a much-needed critical assessment of the current state of Black/Africana studies in order to chart a path forward. In three equally groundbreaking sections, Stewart clarifies and refines the distinctive approaches that currently define the field; shows how creative production in particular can serve as a unique means of cultural analysis and political mobilization; and suggests how to restore the balance between intellectual inquiry and direct action in order to improve the actual lived experiences of people of African descent. Each section incorporates various forms of expression, including Stewart's essays, speeches, and poems, and the book as a whole covers a vast range of figures, issues, and phenomena, from W.E.B, Du Bois to James Baldwin, from conscious hip-hop to the Black Lives Matter movement, from Hurricane Katrina to Covid-19, and very much in between. Written with an accessible authoritativeness few Black/Africana scholar-activists can match, Stewart offers a must-read not only for researchers, but also for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students interested in Black/Africana studies, diaspora studies, ethnic studies, Black womanist/feminist studies, and American studies, as well as in African American history, culture, politics, economics, literature, and philosophy.EXTRA 15 % nuolaida su kodu: ENG15
