About This Item
Cambridge, Massachussetts and London, England: Harvard University Press, 1982. Hardcover [octavo] in pictorial dust jacket. [viii] 511 pp. Charcoal cloth with silver stamped lettering to spine. Near Fine in a Very Good jacket, unclipped, lightly rubbed and soiled, with shallow edgewear including some small tears and creases.. A foundational text for the Afropessimism movement, this landmark study by Patterson--through a close study of over sixty slave societies--established and explored the "social death" of the enslaved people, as perpetrated and accelerated by the parasitic nature of the "Master". Hugely influential towards the thought of Frank Wilderson III, whose work and writings towards Afropessimism constitute a chamber in which Patterson's work constantly reverberates.
