Through the cultural terrain of literature by Toni Morrison, Nalo Hopkinson, Audre Lorde, and Octavia Butler, the art of Wangechi Mutu and Ezrom Legae, and the oratory of Frederick Douglass, Zakiyyah Iman Jackson both critiques and displaces the racial logic that has dominated scientific thought since the Enlightenment. In so doing, Becoming Human demonstrates that the history of racialized gender and maternity, specifically antiblackness, is indispensable to future thought on matter, materiality, animality, and posthumanism. Jackson argues that African diasporic cultural production alters the meaning of being human and engages in imaginative practices of world- building against a history of the bestialization and thingification of blackness-the process of imagining the black person as an empty vessel, a non-being, an ontological zero-and the violent imposition of colonial myths of racial hierarchy. What emerges is a radically unruly sense of a being, knowing, feeling existence: one that necessarily ruptures the foundations of "the human." 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Literature|xBlack authors|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 African diaspora in literature. 650 0 Blacks in literature. 650 0 Africans in literature. 650 0 Blacks|xRace identity. 650 0 Humanism in literature. 650 0 Identity (Psychology) in literature. 700 1 Blue, Diana. 710 2 hoopla digital. 830 0 Sexual cultures. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13638527?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781705284018_180.jpeg
