Alexander G. Weheliye · Black Studies and critical theory · Duke University Press, 2014 · English
Alexander G. Weheliye examines how racial power shapes who is recognized as fully human. Drawing centrally on Hortense Spillers and Sylvia Wynter, he brings Black feminist thought into debates about bodies, political violence, and the possibilities of life beyond racial hierarchies.
Why we are reading it
Habeas Viscus offers a theoretical companion to the collection’s memoirs and historical studies. It supports careful thinking about race, embodiment, and the limits of recognition, while placing Black Studies and Black feminism at the center of the discussion.
