"The modern world is fundamentally antiblack. In this book, scholars from across the disciplines grapple, unflinchingly, with antiblackness-its enduring depth, breadth, and violence. Casting radical doubt on the foundational categories of the modern world, the Social and the Human, their contributions collectively suggest a thoroughgoing critique and overhaul of the social sciences and the humanities."
