Posthuman Blackness and the Black Female Imagination

I was excited by this book's title, only to be let down. Unfortunately, this is not a strong academic text. Its main problem is that it is theoretically vague and underdeveloped. In particular, the discussions of posthumanism lack rigor. As posthumanism is the central tenet of the book's thesis, this makes for frustrating reading. Posthumanism is unconvincingly and with little support presented as being that which is liminal, atemporal, relational, and subjective. Given the ambiguity with which posthumanism is (un)defined, the book itself is unconvincing. Each chapter reads like the author is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, often relying on questionable interpretations of the works of other theorists - in particular Weheliye and Glissant - to do so. Sadly, I would not recommend this text.
