A. Judy explores the concept of human flesh as a starting point for a profound reflection on human epistemology and historical understandings of the black being. Drawing from various disciplines, including literary theory, musicology, political theory, and phenomenology, as well as Greek and Arabic philosophy, Judy engages with literary texts and performative practices that challenge the dominant narratives of modern racialized capitalism. Through his concept of \"thinking in disorder\" or \"poiēsis in black,\" Judy highlights the inseparable connection between flesh, thinking, and personhood. By recognizing this interconnectedness, Judy offers a means to transcend the destructive force of ontology that continues to hold us captive. Sentient Flesh is a significant contribution to the study of black life, providing a comprehensive and erudite exploration of the complexities of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1114g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 x 44 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478011026                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R.
