Anotácia knihy

This book sets out to understand the ethical dimension of Black lives and deaths in the modern period. Recent events - from the brutal murder of George Floyd to the pervasive violence meted out daily on the streets of our cities - have demonstrated all too clearly the fundamental trait that shapes our contemporary moment: the Black condition is defined by indignity.Ajari takes dignity as his starting point because dignity is what white people try to abolish in their violence towards Black people, and it is what they deprive themselves of in exerting this violence. Dignity is also what Black people collectively affirm when they rise up against white domination. When a young Black man or woman's dignity is taken from them as the result of assault, rape or assassination at the hands of the state, the roots of a long history of struggle, conquest and affirmation of African humanity are exposed and shaken. Above all, dignity is the ability of the oppressed, trapped between life and death, to remain standing.Dignity or Death offers an uncompromising critical analysis of the European philosophical tradition in order to recover the misunderstood history of radical thought in Black worlds. Slave uprisings, négritude, radical Christian traditions in North America and South Africa and political ontology are all steps on a long and troubled path of liberation.
