Introducing 'Darkening Blackness' – an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Afropessimism and its implications in today's society. This groundbreaking book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2024, delves into the radical distrust of white narratives surrounding inclusivity, providing a profound critique of modern African American thought. The author, through accessible language and a historically informed lens, challenges readers to rethink progressive ideas that may simply mask underlying racism. With the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement, 'Darkening Blackness' confronts the dehumanization of Black lives and the pervasive anti-Black sentiment that remains deeply ingrained in our civilization. This book illuminates the insidious collective unconscious about race, gender, and class, offering insightful alternatives to mainstream concepts like intersectionality and poststructuralism. Perfect for academics, activists, and anyone passionate about critical race theory, 'Darkening Blackness' crafts a politically alert narrative that encourages readers to envisage a transformative future for Black lives globally. Embrace the challenge and explore the depths of this incisive analysis to redefine progress, inclusivity, and equity in your discourse.Shipping Notes

Amazing
Format: Paperback
It’s very academic—what I mean by that is that if you need to be well-educated in psychology to GRASP *everything*… I am not well-educated in psychology (I minored in it and love reading easier books on it), but I LOVE this book. This woman is brilliant

one of the best books I’ve read
Format: Kindle
This book is transformative in how I view everything. There are two categories: people who need to read this book and people who need to read it again.

Started w/ audiobook, now I'm ordering the print too
Format: Paperback
This book is GREAT!! The integration of theory she uses to support her claims is masterful. I began listening to the audiobook, because it was cheaper & I go through a ton of counseling & psych books. I am a grad student in social work, and I'm also a therapy client trying to heal myself.
I appreciate that this book targets "chronic shame" which as a central experience to a bunch of issues. The hundreds of books and articles I've researched seem like they were mostly ALL working back to this issue.
In a psychology culture that is big on cognitive and chemical solutions to mental health, the relational approach that she emphasizes is critical to the healing process. I appreciate the research she uses from object relations, affect regulation, interpersonal, etc. I purchased the hard copy because 1. I can't underline/highlight an audiobook and 2. I want a copy of the references of theorists and study's that she draws from, because they are pure gold.
All therapists need to understand the contents of this book! Unless you are perfectly fine offering band aid solutions. Clients and self-helpers beware. It's not triggering in terms of content, it is activating in the sense that she describes the felt experience of shame SO WELL. I could locate my own felt sense of shame which is, by default, unpleasant. Some stabilization and a decent therapeutic connection is probably necessary before cracking this book open. But that's why I love it. I needed to go deeper and get the core issues. And this book is like a map that guides you right to it.

A must read.
Format: Audiobook
The best book I have read in a very long time. Transformative. I am slowly processing my new understanding of my relational trauma so well detailed in this book.

We read this for a class in grad school and it's something I reference back to time and again. Really important read and will be something I reference often.
