{"product_id":"the-long-emancipation-rinaldo-walcott-9781478014058","title":"The Long Emancipation: Moving Toward Black Freedom","description":"In \u003ci\u003eThe Long Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e Rinaldo Walcott posits that Black people globally live in the time of emancipation and that emancipation is definitely not freedom. Taking examples from across the globe, he argues that wherever Black people have been emancipated from slavery and colonization, a potential freedom has been thwarted. Walcott names this condition the long emancipation--the ongoing interdiction of potential Black freedom and the continuation of the juridical and legislative status of Black nonbeing. Stating that Black people have yet to experience freedom, Walcott shows that being Black in the world is to exist in the time of emancipation in which Black people must constantly fashion alternate conceptions of freedom and reality through expressive culture. Given that Black unfreedom lies at the center of the making of the modern world, the attainment of freedom for Black people, Walcott contends, will transform the human experience worldwide. With \u003ci\u003eThe Long Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e, Walcott offers a new humanism that begins by acknowledging that present conceptions of what it means to be human do not currently include Black people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rinaldo Walcott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478014059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478014058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2022","brand":"Rinaldo Walcott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051000983807,"sku":"9781478014058","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ccb484e9-ec97-4846-b2c8-eccf9255924c.jpg?v=1685010498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-long-emancipation-rinaldo-walcott-9781478014058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
