The Long Emancipation

En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the concept of "the long emancipation," Rinaldo Walcott argues that Black individuals globally exist in a state of ongoing struggle for true freedom, despite historical emancipation from slavery and colonization. He highlights how systemic barriers continue to hinder Black potential and identity, leading to a persistent state of nonbeing. Through cultural expression, Black communities navigate their realities and redefine freedom. Walcott asserts that achieving genuine freedom for Black people is essential for transforming the broader human experience and reimagining humanity itself.
