Reviews

Yannick Marshall offers a much needed refresher to how we engage Black Radicalism. His biting style challenges the reader to venture into territory we are so often discouraged from exploring or even acknowledging. This text is a valuable contribution to that journey. Thus, I implore all readers to lock in and enjoy the beautiful struggle that is The End of Supplication. * Too Black, poet, filmmaker, and author of Laundering Black Rage * Yannick Marshall provides a welcomingly skeptical voice in this powerfully critical book. Marshall combines refreshing lyricism and astute acidity clearing the way for Pan-African freedom beyond settler cosmology, politics, history, and geography. This work questions the repression of the maroon as a figuration of Black autonomous political, social, and spatial action, from white abolitionist racism to the “muzzle of civil rights” and into contemporary politics and repression. This work is intensely timely and relevant and it is an important agitation from a necessary voice. * J.T. Roane, assistant professor of Africana studies and geography, Rutgers University, USA *
