About the Author
Sithole captures the necessity, innovation, and capaciousness of Hortense J. Spillers—a figure of thought, as both an epistemological object to study and a remarkable intellectual to admire. Since Spillers traverses disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, her work is uncategorizable and reorients thought itself. Sithole, masterfully, demonstrates this reorientation of thought through careful and incisive readings of Spillers’s canonical essays and imperishable contributions to feminism, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Hortense J. Spillers’s insurgent thought provides a crucial text for living, enduring, and refashioning Black existence. This book displays the radical potential and importance of such insurgency.
