Description
This book aims to show, in unique ways, in keeping with Spillers’s innovative thinking, how not to treat subject, abject, and insurgent in a typological fashion, or teleology, but to account for ways in which, in their distinctive forms, also related to one another as they confront and combat dehumanization.Hortense J. Spillers: Subject, Abject, and Insurgent Black Radical Thought bears witness to the poetics of black radical thought in this right moment when black thought insists on its demands to have the world fundamentally changed.

Sithole captures the necessity, innovation, and capaciousness of Hortense J. Spillers—a figure of thought, as both an epistemological object to study and a remarkable intellectual to admire. Since Spillers traverses disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, her work is uncategorizable and reorients thought itself. Sithole, masterfully, demonstrates this reorientation of thought through careful and incisive readings of Spillers’s canonical essays and imperishable contributions to feminism, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Hortense J. Spillers’s insurgent thought provides a crucial text for living, enduring, and refashioning Black existence. This book displays the radical potential and importance of such insurgency.
