Black Consciousness with Lewis Gordon
Overthink
Exploring Black Consciousness and Identity
This chapter investigates the dualities of Black consciousness, differentiating between lowercase and uppercase representations while linking historical experiences to contemporary identity formation. It discusses the oppressive impacts of racial perceptions, drawing on theorists like W.E. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon, and examines how historical contexts, especially the transatlantic slave trade, shaped Black identity. Ultimately, the chapter highlights the empowering potential of 'Black consciousness' as a transformative force against societal dominance.
