Laundering Black Rage
The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits
Book • 2024
Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits, co-authored by Too Black and Rasul A. Mowatt, offers a critical analysis of how Black rage, a response to systemic oppression, is diluted and commodified within the capitalist system.
The book examines the historical and spatial dimensions of this process, tracing how the state incubates rage, labor sets uprisings, and commodification integrates rage into the system.
It challenges popular narratives surrounding events like the Black Lives Matter movement and police killings, arguing that the maintenance of capitalism requires the consent of the oppressed.
The authors propose 'reverse-laundering' as a strategy to reclaim and redirect resources, offering a path toward anti-colonial struggle and systemic change.
The book's interdisciplinary approach, combining academic criticism and journalistic essays, makes it essential reading for scholars and activists.
