What does existence mean for Black women without the anchor of humanity and the struggle to inhabit it? How can one be oneself without being human? What is it to become a fugitive from the confines of 'the human'? Humanity has always excluded Others on the basis of race and gender. What happens to people who choose to flee, following in the footsteps of those who resisted enslavement? This audacious manifesto draws on the legacies of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and others to consider the ways in which Black women have been excluded from, struggled to achieve and opted to reject the category of 'human'. Sociologist Akwugo Emejulu argues that it is only through embracing the status of the 'fugitive' that Black women can determine their own liberation. Fugitive Feminism is a call for the collective process of speculative dialogue and a bold new model for action. "Fugitive feminism - a wild proposition, a paradoxical experiment to see whether it is possible to embrace the fugitive's porous, shifting and unstable identity for a Black feminist politics of liberation." -- Akwugo Emejulu
