This book is a wonderful illustration of epistemic Sankofa. A tribute to the guiding principles of Black study, Saucier and the contributors answer the following question: what precedes discipline(s)?, by providing insights into Black radical tradition and Indigenous African forms of knowledge production. By rejecting passivity, the collection challenges readers to imagine the future for themselves, revealing new questions and possibilities that emerge when beginning from Black and blackened bodies, histories, and theories. * Giramata, Assistant Professor of Gender Studies, Whitman College, USA *

This book is a wonderful illustration of epistemic Sankofa. A tribute to the guiding principles of Black study and Black feminist theories, Saucier and the contributors answer the following question: what precedes discipline(s)?, by providing insights into Black radical tradition and Indigenous African forms of knowledge production. Additionally, this collection simultaneously discusses and embodies refusal in 2 ways: 1) it rejects the preoccupation of making legible disciplinary refusal in a system that oftentimes renders it a lack of knowledge and instead begins with the labor, rigor and questions involved in practicing, being a part of, and committing to the cross-disciplinary discourse; and 2) through the rejection of passivity, the collection throws the question of the future back to the reader, in order to discover new questions and possibilities within Black and blackened bodies, histories and theories. * Giramata, Assistant Professor of Gender Studies, Whitman College, USA *
