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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinaldo Walcott is a Professor in the Women and Gender Studies Institute, University of Toronto, author of \u003ci\u003eQueer Returns: Essays on Multiculturalism, Diaspora, and Black Studies\u003c\/i\u003e, and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eBlackLife: Post-BLM and the Struggle for Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665863368806,"sku":"9781478014058","price":49.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/azRuUHNyU2RwL2g5bHJkUThTVVowQT09.webp?v=1779958227","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-long-emancipation-moving-toward-black-freedom-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
