Description
Confronted by a crisis in black American leadership, state-sanctioned violence against black communities, and colorblind laws that trap black Americans in a racial caste system, Black Lives Matter activists and the artists inspired by them have devised new forms of political and cultural resistance. More Than Our Pain explores how affect and emotion can drive collective political and cultural action in the face of a new nadir in race relations in the United States.
This foregrounding of affect and emotion marks a clear break from civil rights-era activists, who were often trained to counter false narratives about protesters as thugs and criminals by presenting themselves as impeccably groomed and disciplined young black Americans. In contrast, the Black Lives Matter movement in the early twenty-first-century makes no qualms about rejecting the politics of respectability. Affect and emotion have moved from the margin to the center of this new human rights movement, and by examining righteous rage, black joy, as well as grief and fatigue, among other emotions, the contributors celebrate the vitality of black life while documenting those who have harmed it.
Contains mature themes.
