Editat de danielle davisen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 feb 2019
In this important book, international scholars from many disciplines and areas of life engage in Gordon's work to prod, rattle and rethink our thinking to inform and change our practices as humans in institutions, politics, and the personal, legal and social paradigms. The book focuses on the importance of radical theory and thinkers to push for projects of change in the area of Black Existentialism. Gordon's now extensive oeuvre personifies this. The essays use the work of Lewis Gordon to demonstrate how theory and thought be can used for transformation of existence, antiracism and critiques of alterity, resistance, pedagogy, political action theory and disciplinary decadence in the academy and beyond.

Recenzii
This book is a work of living philosophy. Grounded in the work one of our era's great thinkers, it shows us how Lewis R. Gordon addresses the triumphs and failures of previous generations of philosophers, how today's philosophers are extending his work, and it provides the contours of a rigorous philosophy that can guide us towards a bright future.
This volume is an excellent collection of essays on the works of Lewis Gordon by a group of distinguished scholars, who not only know his work, but also the man. The essays are highly informative. They focus closely on Gordon's work, the scholars that he engaged, and those that have subsequently been engaged by his work. A strong contribution to the field of Africana philosophy.
This is an excellent collection of essays by outstanding scholars who each reflect on how the work of Gordon transformed their own. The contributors come from disciplines such as Africana thought, Afrocentricity, Afro-Jewish studies, Black feminist thought, critical race studies, Fanonian studies, gender and feminist studies, philosophy and psychoanalysis. The essays offer insight into current scholarship on decoloniality, the politics of race, gender and identity, among others. A scrumptious collection indeed!
This skilfully curated collection casts Lewis Gordon's impressive ouvre as the subject of a virtual symposium. The gathering powerfully illuminates the heterogeneity, complexity and wealth of Black existentialism. If a tree is known by its fruit, Gordon ought to be celebrated and re-read carefully given the life overflowing the cover he provides. This volume is an excellent starting place.
A work of huge importance for any theorist who wants to explore what davis herself calls the 'human condition', Black Existentialism taps into the diversity of scholarship that Gordon creatively informs. davis' edited collection represents a prime opportunity to engage with the overall theme of the colonized/colonizing self and illuminates so well the complexity of that apparent binary.
