Fugitive Feminism

For readers of Audre Lorde, bell hooks and Angela Davis.
The first book in Crescent: a new series from Silver Press.

An essential new work of Black feminism published during Black History Month by leading thinker and sociologist Akwugo Emejulu.

Humanity has always excluded Others on the basis of race and gender. What happens to people who choose to flee, following in the footsteps of those who resisted enslavement?

This audacious manifesto draws on the legacies of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and others to consider the ways in which Black women have been excluded from, struggled to achieve and opted to reject the category of ‘human’. Sociologist Akwugo Emejulu argues that it is only through embracing the status of the ‘fugitive’ that Black women can determine their own liberation. Fugitive Feminism is a call for the collective process of speculative dialogue and a bold new model for action.
