In 1973, Chabani Manganyi's essays raised provocative questions that spoke to the issues of the time, and to his own unique relationship to them. Such a questioning approach remains essential to exploring being human today. --Gerhard Mare, professor emeritus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, and author Declassified: Moving beyond the dead end of race in South Africa This timely re-publication and thoughtful re-framing of Being-Black-in-the-World is a gift. It honours Chabani Manganyi's seminal and historic contribution to understanding blackness as embodied and socially embedded, and to thinking about Black Consciousness as a politics of solidarity. It invites intergenerational conversations toward a decolonised world and pays homage to South Africa's contribution to black radical thought. This text is a must-read. --Zimitri Erasmus, associate professor of Sociology and Anthropology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and author Race Otherwise: Forging a new humanism for South Africa
