By drawing on black experience and history, Corrigan offers compelling evidence for feelings as central to political life and survival. The result is a novel history of the civil rights and Black Power movements as structures of feeling. Corrigan's understanding of black radical traditions as affectively driven is also a valuable resource for theories of racialized affect and recent discussions of hope, Afro-pessimism, and black joy. We need more books like this.--Ann Cvetkovich, author of Depression: A Public Feeling and coeditor of Political Emotions Black Feelings fills the aperture in rhetorical and social movement studies concerning how feelings are racialized and how emotions significantly influence the tactics deployed by protestors.--Cecilia L. Cerja Quarterly Journal of Speech
