Excellent- More about Black Men from behind the Veil: Ontological Interrogations
Black male scholars recognize that the brutal murder of George Floyd was not due to a few bad apples but to a distorted white imaginary that perceives them as threats and criminals. Black Men from behind the Veil: Ontological Interrogations emphasizes the importance of Black male epistemic agency and courage to speak the truth about an America that values Black male life on the cheap and attempts to control their movement, capacity to breathe, and being through anti-Black technologies of surveillance, confinement, policing, and white nation-building. There is no single monolithic Black male voice that dominates the text, but each voice speaks of pain behind the Veil, revealing narrative specificity and an important recursive truth: Black men are both necessary and disposable in the white American psyche.

The Black male scholars featured in this significant book are acutely aware that the tragic murder of George Floyd was not the result of a few isolated incidents. They comprehend that they are perceived as threats and criminals within a distorted white imaginary that is infused with processes of mythopoetic construction, racial capitalism, and a deep-seated anti-Black male social ontology. Edited by renowned philosopher George Yancy, Black Men from Behind the Veil: Ontological Interrogations underscores the significance of Black male epistemic agency and bravery in speaking the truth about an America that devalues Black male life and strives to control the movement, breathing, and existence of Black men through anti-Black technologies of surveillance, confinement, policing, and white nation-building. It is important to note that this crucial and indispensable text does not feature a single monolithic Black male voice that dominates its content. Instead, each voice conveys pain behind the Veil, revealing narrative specificity and an essential recursive truth: Black men, within the white American psyche, are both necessary and yet disposable. The existential and sociohistorical weight of this truth becomes painfully evident through the voices of these Black men.
