Böcker av Tendayi Sithole

This book anchors literary critic Hortense J. Spillers' thought into conceptual forms of subject, abject, and insurgent, distilling each individually and then examining how they relate to one another to confront and combat racist heteropatriarchal forces that cement antiblackness.

Mabogo P. More: Philosophical Anthropology is the first book to provide an extensive treatment of More's Africana existential thought. This book locates him, as it is clear in his body of work, in the Azanian (Black and Indigenous) existential tradition. As a philosopher, he is engaged from the perspective of black radical thought. From this intervention, it is clear that his philosophical project originates and is expressed from the existential condition of being-black-in-an-antiblack-world. It is from the lived experience and the fact of being black that More is meditated upon and this book, which is the extension of his work, brings to the forth the ways of thinking, knowing, and doing that that illuminate his philosophical project.

In The Letter in Black Radical Thought, Tendayi Sithole analyzes the letters of Sylvia Wynter, Assata Shakur, George Jackson, Aìme Césaire, and Frantz Fanon. Each letter is taken as an important site where dehumanization is criticized by means of black radical thought which these figures advocate.

This is the first book-length work to focus on the philosophical and anthropological contribution of Mabogo More, a prominent and influential black South African existentialist thinker.
