An intense, informative read of crucial topics. A book that I wish I was able to discuss in a classroom setting. Wilderson's use of memoir and storytelling to explain theoretical concepts is great. However, I do wish there was a section of pure theory outlined.

Afropessimist theory clearly conveyed through narrative. The prose and storytelling are unforgettable. Life-changing.

I'll post a full review a few months or years from now once the text settles.
Time to revisit some Sylvia Wynter essays.
