The book arrived. It is a real thing . I held it in my hands.

A bunch of our favorite peoples - Profs Rinaldo Walcott, Isabel Hofmeyr, Keguro Macharia, Jill Bradbury and GA Musila - have published a set of short essays in response to another of our fave's, Prof Hugo ka Canham's book, Riotous Deathscapes. Links below. Read and share🧵

Keguro Macharia's letter, titled "Dear Hugo" is where you start. Here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Then you go to Jill Bradbury's "Narrative World-Making: Living in the landscapes of loss." Right here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Stay tuned for Rinaldo Walcott's must-read piece... #Loading... but we also have our very own Isabel Hofmeyr's "Black living as elemental politics" here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

All this beauty is threaded together by a headnote from our very own (yes, we're getting repetitive, but it's not our fault that we are cool peoples' home of choice) GA Musila, titled, "Mpondo refusals" available here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Go forth and download, before these essays get out behind paywalls. Join us in saluting the riotous, heartbreaking gorgeousness that is Prof Hugo ka Canham's Riotous Deathscapes 🔥🔥🔥. Nice one, Duke University Press Wits University Press Safundi .
