Enlists the principles of post-humanist critique in order to investigate decades of intimate dialogues between African American and Spanish intellectuals


In Archives of Flesh, Robert Reid-Pharr reveals the deep history of intellectual engagement between African America and Spain. Opening a fascinating window onto black and anti-Fascist intellectual life from 1898 through the mid-1950s, Reid-Pharr argues that key institutions of Western Humanism, including American colleges and universities, developed in intimate relation to slavery, colonization, and white supremacy. This retreat to rigidly established philosophical and critical traditions can never fully address--or even fully recognize--the deep-seated hostility to black subjectivity underlying the humanist ideal of a transcendent Manhood.
