Table of ContentsIntroduction: Biko’s Contested Subjectivities Chapter 1: Biko: A Decolonial Philosopher Chapter 2: The Existential Scandal of Antiblack Racism Chapter 3: The Mask of Bad Faith Chapter 4: The Colonial State: The Freedom Charter and the Modicum of Freedom Chapter 5: The Racist State, the Law, and its Outlawed Chapter 6: Biko and the Problématique of Death Coda: Charting the Terrains of the De-colonial TurnReviewsSithole'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 This book is 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 Sithole's critical decolonial foray into the liberatory ideas of Steve Biko is pioneering and refreshing in many ways.
