In the fall of 2013 while raking leaves outside his home, Farred experienced a racist encounter: a white woman stopped to ask him, \"Would you like another job?\" Farred responded, \"Only if you can match my Cornell faculty salary.\" The moment, however, stuck with him. The black man had gravitated to, of all people, Martin Heidegger, specifically Heidegger's pronouncement, \"Only when man speaks, does he think--and not the other way around,\" in order to unpack this encounter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this essay, Farred grapples with why it is that Heidegger--well known as a Nazi--resonates so deeply with him during this encounter instead of other, more predictable figures such as Malcolm X, W. E. B. DuBois, or Frantz Fanon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Farred\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816699364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816699360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Grant Farred","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431319359743,"sku":"9780816699360","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b93836b-89e2-461d-9b70-753e43aa0a12.jpg?v=1735140966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/martin-heidegger-saved-my-life-grant-farred-9780816699360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
