A seminal work that strikingly combines groundbreaking philosophy with searing flights of memoir, Afropessimism presents the tenets of an increasingly influential intellectual movement that theorizes blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Rather than interpreting slavery through a Marxist framework of class oppression, Frank B. Wilderson III, "a truly indispensable thinker" (Fred Moten), demonstrates that the social construct of slavery, as seen through pervasive, anti-black subjugation and violence, is hardly a relic of the past but an almost necessary force in our civilization that flourishes today, and that Black struggles cannot be conflated with the experiences of any other oppressed group. In mellifluous prose, Wilderson juxtaposes his seemingly idyllic upbringing in halcyon midcentury Minneapolis with the harshness that he would later encounter, whether in radicalized, late-1960s Berkeley or in the slums of Soweto. Following in the rich literary tradition of works by DuBois, Malcolm X and Baldwin, Afropessimism reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world we inhabit"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1307624</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1307624</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wilderson, Frank B.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1307624086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781631496141/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Omni-Americans]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1303222</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1303222</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Murray, Albert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1303222086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Some Alternatives to the Folklore of White Supremacy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781598536522/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Make A Slave and Other Essays]]></title><description><![CDATA["Personal essays exploring identity, family, and community through the prism of race and black culture.

By addressing these subjects through the consideration of works produced either by black artists or in response to race-related subjects, 'Among Others' confronts two kinds of truth: one plainly factual and informative, the other moral. It is equal parts historical investigation and truth-telling about the Museum's role in the history of the cultural politics of race. The richly illustrated volume begins with two historical essays. The first, by Darby English and Charlotte Barat, traces the history of MoMA's encounters with racial blackness since its founding--from an early commitment to African art and solo exhibitions devoted to the work of artists such as William Edmondson and Jacob Lawrence in the 1930s and 1940s, to its activities during the Civil Rights Movement, to the controversial Primitivism show of 1984 and beyond. The second essay, by Mabel O. Wilson, scrutinizes the Museum's record in collecting the work of black architects and designers. Following these essays are nearly 200 plates, each accompanied by an essay by one of the over 100 authors who hail from a range of fields" -- Publisher's description.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1301174</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1301174</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[English, Darby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1301174086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Blackness at MoMA</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781633450349/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[American While Black]]></title><description><![CDATA[What has an expanded immigration regime meant for how blacks express national attachment?

After remaining silent during a racist incident, the unnamed narrator has his Black Card revoked by Lucius, his guide through Richmond, Virginia, where Confederate flags and memorials are a part of everyday life.Determined to win back his Black Card, the narrator sings rap songs at an all-white country music karaoke night, absorbs black pop culture, and attempts to date his black coworker Mona, who is attacked one night. The narrator becomes the prime suspect and earns the attention of John Donahue, a local police officer with a grudge dating back to high school. Forced to face his past, his relationship with his black father and white mother, and the real consequences and dangers of being black in America, the narrator must choose who he is before the world decides for him."--Publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1289002</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1289002</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Terry, Chris L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1289002086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781948226264/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Return Fighting]]></title><description><![CDATA["A richly illustrated commemoration of African Americans' roles in World War I highlighting how the wartime experience reshaped their lives and their communities after they returned home"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1296728</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1296728</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1296728086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>World War I and the Shaping of Modern Black Identity</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781588346728/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Backlash]]></title><description><![CDATA["When George Yancy penned a New York Times article entitled "Dear White America," he knew that he was courting controversy.

Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging remains with readers the rest of their lives--but not everyone regularly sees themselves on the pages of a book. In this timely anthology, Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black women writers to shine a light on how important it is that we all--regardless of gender, race, religion, or ability--have the opportunity to find ourselves in literature. Contributors include Jesmyn Ward (Sing, Unburied, Sing), Lynn Nottage (Sweat), Jacqueline Woodson (Another Brooklyn), Gabourey Sidibe (This Is Just My Face), Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be My Undoing), Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), Rebecca Walker (Black, White and Jewish), and Barbara Smith (Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology). Whether it's learning about the complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison, finding a new type of love in The Color Purple, or using mythology to craft an alternative black future, the subjects of each essay remind us why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. As she has done with her book club-turned-online community Well-Read Black Girl, in this anthology Glory Edim has created a space in which black women's writing and knowledge and life experiences are lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story to help us understand the world and ourselves"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1236844</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1236844</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1236844086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves : An Anthology</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525619772/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA["Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"]]></title><description><![CDATA[With a discussion guide and a new Epilogue by the author, this is the fifth anniversary edition of the bestselling work on the development of racial identity.

In these interrelated essays, Moten attends to entanglement, the blurring of borders, and other practices that trouble notions of self-determination and sovereignty within political and aesthetic realms. Black and Blur is marked by unlikely juxtapositions: Althusser informs analyses of rappers Pras and Ol' Dirty Bastard; Shakespeare encounters Stokely Carmichael; thinkers like Kant, Adorno, and Jose Esteban Munoz and musicians and artists including Thornton Dial and Cecil Taylor play off each other. Moten holds that blackness encompasses a range of social, aesthetic, and theoretical insurgencies that respond to a shared modernity founded upon the sociological catastrophe of the transatlantic slave trade and settler colonialism. In so doing he unsettles normative ways of reading, hearing, and seeing, thereby reordering the senses to create new means of knowing.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1268075</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1268075</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moten, Fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1268075086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780822370161/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Into Each Room We Enter Without Knowing]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, poet Charif Shanahan explores the various ways in which we as a species inherit identity constructs, chiefly about race and sexuality, and how we navigate those constructs in the creation of our identities"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1533348</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1533348</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shanahan, Charif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1533348086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780809335770/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA["Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"]]></title><description><![CDATA["Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see black youth seated together in the cafeteria. Of course, it's not just the black kids sitting together--the white, Latino, Asian Pacific, and, in some regions, American Indian youth are clustered in their own groups, too. The same phenomenon can be observed in college dining halls, faculty lounges, and corporate cafeterias. What is going on here? Is this self-segregation a problem we should try to fix, or a coping strategy we should support? How can we get past our reluctance to talk about racial issues to even discuss it? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words and being perceived as "racist" while parents of color are afraid of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon. Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents strong evidence that straight talk about our racial identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides. This remarkable book, infused with great wisdom and humanity, has already helped hundreds of thousands of readers figure out where to start. These topics have only become more urgent in recent years, as the national conversation about race has become increasingly acrimonious-and sometimes violent. This fully revised and updated edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand-and perhaps someday fix-the problem of segregation in America"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1213237</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1213237</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tatum, Beverly Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1213237086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>And Other Conversations About Race</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780465060689/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negroland]]></title><description><![CDATA["At once incendiary and icy, mischievous, and provocative, celebratory and elegiac, a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, and American culture through the prism of the author's rarefied upbringing and education among a black elite concerned to distance itself from whites and the black generality, while tirelessly measuring itself against both.  Born in 1947 in upper-crust black Chicago--her father was for years head of pediatrics at Provident, at the time the nation's oldest black hospital; her mother was a socialite--Margo Jefferson has spent most of her life among (call them what you will) the colored aristocracy, the colored elite, the blue-vein society. Since the nineteenth century they have stood apart, these inhabitants of Negroland, "a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty."  Reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historical moments--the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy of post-racial America--Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a life informed by psychological and moral contradictions.
