2025/08/12

Introduction Contemporary critical theories of Black life, particularly Afropessimism as formulated by Frank Wilderson and the postcolonial fatalism found in Achille Mbembe’s On the Postcolony (2001), have produced a striking impasse: frameworks seeking to disclose the depth of Black negation increasingly foreclose the possibility of Black agency.
