In this thought-provoking episode of Between Shelves, we explore the transformative concept of Black Meta-Modernism. This emerging framework reimagines Meta-Modern thought through the rich, complex lens of Black and Other cultural experiences, histories, and narratives. Join us as we unpack how this perspective expands the possibilities of Meta-Modernism, blending the intellectual with the visceral, the historical with the contemporary. Whether you’re a scholar, a seeker, or simply curious about the intersections of race, culture, and philosophy, this episode offers a fresh and vital perspective on the evolving landscape of thought and identity.
