"Sithole's critical decolonial foray into the liberatory ideas of Steve Biko is pioneering and refreshing in many ways. Biko is neither reduced to a simple shrine to be worshiped nor a hagiography to be celebrated. Through Sithole's sharp analysis, Biko is rightfully given a place in the burgeoning pantheon of black liberatory philosophies." --Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, author of "The Decolonial Mandela: Peace, Justice and the Politics of Life" (2016) and "Epistemic Freedom in Africa: Deprovincialization and Decolonization" (2018) "This bookis a profound ground-breaking account of Biko's philosophy from a decolonial epistemic perspective hitherto unheard of. It is testimony to the relevance and ever growing re-emergence of Biko and the Black Consciousness philosophy in a country still suffering from antiblack racism, Nelson Mandela's efforts at racial reconciliation notwithstanding. Sithole's book is therefore a must-read for anyone trying to understand the confluence of existentialism and decolonial theory in Biko's philosophy of Black subjectivity in an antiblack society." --Mabogo Percy More, Professor of Philosophy, University of Limpopo l theory in Biko's philosophy of Black subjectivity in an antiblack society.
