Bad Faith and Antiblack Racism

This is the 30th Anniversary Edition of Lewis R. Gordon's classic existential phenomenological inaugural work, Bad Faith and Antiblack Racism. Gordon argues that antiblack racism is an effort to evade the responsibilities of building a human and humane world. He explores how bad faith is manifested across race, gender, and class, among varieties of other human phenomena. The new edition contains a foreword by Mabogo P. More and afterwords by Jacqueline M. Martinez and Paget Henry.
