Wilderson's \u003cem\u003eAfropessimism\u003c\/em\u003e arrived at a moment when protests against police brutality once again swept the nation. Presenting an argument we can no longer ignore, Wilderson insists that we must view Blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Radical in conception, remarkably poignant, and with soaring flights of memoir, \u003cem\u003eAfropessimism\u003c\/em\u003e reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world we inhabit.\"Wilderson's ambitious book offers its readers two great gifts. First, it strives mightily to make its pessimistic vision plausible. . . . Second, the book depicts a remarkable life, lived with daring and sincerity.\"--Paul C.
