Opis

Afropessimism is an opportunity to think in disruptive ways about racial equality, multiculturalism, and the pursuit of educational justice. Activists, educators, caregivers, and kin are invited to make sense of the contemporary Black condition, including a theorization of Black suffering, Black fugitivity, and Black futurity.
