    "Black Enlightenment examines how eighteenth-century Black thinkers engage with Enlightenment philosophy in ways distinct from more general narratives of freedom or oppression. Surya Parekh considers how these thinkers are situated within Enlightenment discourses of race, especially considering the complex textuality and politics of whiteness embedded in canonical thought. Parekh centers the ideas of Francis Williams (1697-1762), Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-1780), and Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753-1784). By critically assessing the work of these thinkers and others, Parekh unpacks their relationship to an Enlightenment philosophy dependent on slavery and the construction of the Black subject. Parekh's work not only informs many active fields of scholarship around the Black Atlantic and the intellectual history of the Enlightenment, but also investigates a confrontation between a confrontation between philosophy and Black thought that still inhabits global movements today"-- Examining the work of Black Enlightenment authors, Surya Parekh reimagines the Enlightenment from the position of the Black subject

    This stunning exhibition catalog visualizes what freedom looks like for Black Americans today and the legacy of the Civil War in 2023 and beyond. Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation sits at the intersection of history and contemporary life. Building upon in-depth conversations about representations of enslavement and emancipation at the close of the Civil War, this project originates from an analysis of sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward's The Freedman (1863), one of the first bronze representations of a Black person in the United States, and expands into an investigation of how living artists envision emancipation, freedom, and liberation today. Featuring interviews with artists Sadie Barnette, Alfred Conteh, Maya Freelon, Hugh Hayden, Letitia Huckaby, Jeffrey Meris, and Sable Elyse Smith, the exhibition catalog explores their practices along with cutting-edge scholarship by Kirsten Pai Buick and Kelvin Parnell, among others, as well as a haunting story of embodiment and exploitation by celebrated science-fiction author N. K. Jemisin. Burdened by failed promises but buoyed by hope, this project is mournful and melancholy yet also reflective and celebratory in its aspirations for a brighter future. Published in association with the Amon Carter Museum of American Art Exhibition dates: Amon Carter Museum of American Art: March 12-July 9, 2023 Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University: August 5-November 11, 2023 Williams College Museum of Art: February 16-June 16, 2024

    "Deadpan: The Aesthetics of Black Inexpression is an examination of the aesthetic assertions that inhere in gestures of expressionlessness, inscrutability, and emotional withholding in African American cultural production"-- Explores expressionlessness, inscrutability, and emotional withholding in Black cultural productionArguing that inexpression is a gesture that acquires distinctive meanings in concert with blackness, Deadpan tracks instances and meanings of deadpan-a vaudeville term meaning "dead face"-across literature, theater, visual and performance art, and the performance of self in everyday life.Tina Post reveals that the performance of purposeful withholding is a critical tool in the work of black culture makers, intervening in the persistent framing of African American aesthetics as colorful, loud, humorous, and excessive. Beginning with the expressionless faces of mid-twentieth-century documentary photography and proceeding to early twenty-first-century drama, this project examines performances of blackness's deadpan aesthetic within and beyond black embodiments, including Young Jean Lee's The Shipment and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's Neighbors, as well as Buster Keaton's signature character and Steve McQueen's restitution of the former's legacy within the continuum of Black cultural production. Through this varied archive, Post reveals how deadpan aesthetics function in and between opacity and fugitivity, minimalism and saturation, excess and insensibility

    This is a study of Black women's anger, its attempted silencing, and its cultural effects. It grounds the discussion of the political and cultural function of Black feminist anger in several points of inquiry, tying it to the conditions of Black life mired in the structures that characterize the afterlives of slavery and colonialism. Turning to anger can do important work with regards to unraveling epistemic and hermeneutic injustices, the role of negative affect in public spaces, as well as in everyday communicative situations, and how emotional standards integral to dominant definitions of the human and of subjectivity function to maintain and reify human difference and discrimination. By analyzing integral works of Black literature, this book explores how the messiness of anger and rage is navigated and represented in literary texts, but also commended and valued as part of Black feminist lived experience
