other reviews may date this book, unknowingly having the gains of the civil rights movement in the backs of their heads. not only are many of the authors in this text critical of the nonviolence characteristic of the civil rights movement and the appointed leaders thereof, but also testify to the post-Civil Rights malaise that is so endemic of our current moment now, rather this be known as Black Power or BLM.

finished adrien brody and i’m a convert now

incredible but should probably be reread. the conversation with Wilderson is absolute genius, so is “Black Bataille”. The Robert Morris piece is lovely too.

Simultaneously heavy and light reading

Lots to love, some to criticize, much to leave your mouth agape at.

Really really good. Maybe it’s not Yang’s (la paperson’s) mission to convince entirely, but as far as the comparisons of a third university to black filmmaking assemblages, I find myself less convinced with examples of Ava Duvernay, Donald Glover, fuck especially Howard University and Ta-Nehisi Coates. But perhaps I an still thinking of films and universities as ideological machines.
