Description: As a student uprising tears across the fabric of post-apartheid campuses, the class of 2015 conjures Black Consciousness to articulate the pervasive epistemic assaults they endure daily at the ivory tower. As if time stood still, as though 1976 never left the scene, the philosophy of Black Consciousness is no lurking spectre; but it is an indispensable affirmation, a restorative life force that gives elaboration and credence to the grammar of black suffering. This is, therefore, a timely book.
