Description: In Of Effacement David Marriott endeavors to demolish established opinion about what blackness is and reorient our understanding of what it is not in art philosophy autobiography literary theory political theory and psychoanalysis. With the critical rigor and polemical bravura which he displayed in Whither Fanon? Marriott here considers the relationships between language judgement and effacement and shows how effacement has become the dominant force in anti - blackness. Both skeptically and emphatically Marriott presents a series of radical philosophical engagements with Fanon's "is not" (n'est pas) and its "black" political truth. How does one speak let alone represent that which is without existence? Is blackness n'est pas because it has yet to be thought as blackness? And if so when Fanon writes of blackness that it is n'est pas (is not) where should one look to make sense of this n'est pas? Marriott anchors these questions by addressing the most fundamental perennial questions concerning the nature of freedom resistance mastery life and liberation via a series of analyses of such key figures as Huey Newton Nietzsche Malcolm X Edward Said Georges Bataille Stuart Hall and Lacan. He thus develops the basis for a reading of blackness by recasting its effacement as an identity while insisting on it as a fundamental question for philosophy.
