Presents an existential phenomenological investigation of anti-black racism as a form of Sartrean bad faith. This book examines anti-black racism, the attitude and practice that involve the construction of black people as fundamentally inferior and subhuman as an effort to evade the responsibilities of a human and humane world."... a major contribution to Sartre studies, to the analysis of antiblack racism, to the very meaning of color itself in human terms."
—Maurice Natanson, Yale University
"This is a remarkable work . . . Unusual are the freshness and freedom from fashionable political cant of Gordon's work."
