The essays resist categorization, moving from Moten's opening meditation on Kant, Olaudah Equiano, and the conditions of black thought through discussions of academic freedom, writing and pedagogy, non-neurotypicality, and uncritical notions of freedom. Moten also models black study as a form of social life through an engagement with Fanon, Hartman, and Spillers and plumbs the distinction between blackness and black people in readings of Du Bois and Nahum Chandler. The force and creativity of Moten's criticism resonate throughout, reminding us not only of his importance as a thinker, but of the continued necessity of interrogating blackness as a form of sociality.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFred Moten is Professor of Performance Studies at New York University and the author of \u003ci\u003eBlack and Blur\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Universal Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by Duke University Press, and \u003ci\u003eIn the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47345094000889,"sku":"9780822370581","price":46.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Nmd3VXpzWTk5bnRxVEpKOHE2TFdKQT09_3309a2ef-a513-452d-a703-cefd0fb80bef.webp?v=1769742362","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/stolen-life-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
