    A commanding text that speaks to the socially constructed ideologies of blackness
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019*

I was introduced to this book from Always Already, a critical theory podcast that had an episode of Fanon. I was immediately captured by Mbembe's claims and also to hear philosophical topics by an African philosopher. I actually got this book for a friend as a gift, then later got it as an EPUB, and surprisingly my friend returned the favor by ordering a personal copy for myself. Anyways, I have been completely enamored by Achille Mbembe's ability to untangle the antagonisms between race and racialization. His methodological approaches are polemical but easy to read and comprehend. He offers a wide array of thought on extracting Blackness from the 1500s to our present time with the effects of surveillance by governing states. He presents not only a semiological account to the racialization of the Black body but also the optical implications of skin. It's no wonder that much of his texts are inspired by Fanon's theorizations of a corporeal and a racial epidermal schema. He fuses these two concepts using intricate prose that are at times overwhelming to cognitively digest. I feel that I have sought a text that speaks to the ontology and phenomenology of blackness in a concrete manner. Truly inspiring.

    Read his other books too.
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020*

This book gives you so much to think about what it means to be colonized and Black while trying to establish an identity. Honestly this book and Necropolitics should be standard books to read for high schoolers.

    Black is fiction
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2018*

The Crituque of Black Reason is a historical, comprehensive, and global analysis of how and why the “black” label was assigned by those in power to a heterogeneous gathering of Africa inhabitants. The label was, and still is, a convenient way to destroy history, lives, and pride. The task of (re)constructing identity falls in those who lost their past, not on the perpetrators. Current black movements are assessed. Different from other radical,analysis,Mabe,be is hopeful that solutions exist and can and should be achieved.
