Cries of the Unheard: State Violence, Black Bodies, and Martin Luther King’s Black Power2015 •
Martin Luther King believed that the civil rights struggles of Blacks were in one sense importantly American but also part of a worldwide movement against colonialism. As King once noted, Black Power is “the cry of the unheard.” Such expressions of angst extend themselves beyond U.S. borders and thus characterize the existential crises of all oppressed communities. Through this observation, King argues that this international perspective is the definition of Black Power and is a universal call for justice, which he engages as the transition from “thingification” to personhood. #BlackLivesMatter is the theopolitical demand for Black personhood, which we believe to be housed in King’s philosophy of Black Power. Using interpretations of oppression from Black and womanist theologies, this article provides a reconfiguration of King’s expansion of Black Power into global terrain and considers how this approach is timely, given the desensitization toward the killing of Black female and male bodies.

“The Black People’s Side of the Story”: The Historical and Transatlantic Roots of the Movement for Black Lives2023 •
The contemporary lexicon of Black politics contains a litany of emotive reactions to the entrenched racism of American society and turns of affect and emotion dominate popular debates about contemporary racial politics in the United States. Black Lives Matter (BLM), arguably the most important social movement of the twenty-first century, was catalyzed by the collective outrage and the police murders of African American men and women throughout the United States, and has evoked a range of emotional responses from its supporters and critics. Though the vast majority of BLM protests have been peaceful demonstrations, focused on the disruption of public spaces, everyday errands, and white indifference toward black suffering, both BLM protests and the movement itself have been labeled as irrational, dangerous, and inappropriate, in part because protestors have refused to hide their anger at contemporary circumstances of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system and beyond. Negative emotions, such as anger, rage, resentment, and exasperation, are usually viewed as counterproductive to democratic politics, but are viewed as particularly problematic when used to challenge the racial status quo. The purpose of this paper is to challenge commonplace demands that anger be ejected from political, public, and popular deliberations over racial inequality and social justice and to instead argue that anger and rage often expressed through BLM activism are appropriate responses to circumstances of entrenched and pervasive racism. I contend that it is only when these emotions are expressed by African Americans to challenge the injustice of police brutality, that anger and rage are viewed as incompatible, or even dangerous, to the operation of American democracy; meanwhile, the anger expressed by dominant groups is incorporated into political discourse, normalized as politics-as-usual. I argue that the expression of these so-called negative emotions, when used to highlight racial injustice, are not inevitable obstacles to democratic processes, but instead have productive and disruptive dimensions. Anger is productive in that it can serve as a unifying discourse that seeks liberation rather than liberal democratic incorporation, and is disruptive to the hegemony of powerful national narratives such as the belief in the forthcoming post-racial era, which are premised on the inevitability of racial progress but which actually hide and enshrine mechanisms of white supremacy.

Police Abolition/Black Revolt2020 •
This paper addresses the contemporary moment of Black revolt and the struggle to defund and abolish police in Canada and North America.
One of the more striking features of the Black Lives Matter movement against racialized police brutality has been the focus on violence inflicted on " black bodies. " On one hand, the language of " black bodies, " as opposed to simply " black people " or " black personhood, " makes the issue of racial violence more visceral and immediate to white audiences otherwise indisposed to perceive black pain as a moral problem. On the other hand, it represents a theoretical challenge to dominant understandings of pain, suffering, and individuality based on liberal subjectivity. Exemplifying both these aspects, Ta-Nehisi Coates's recent work, Between the World and Me, provides a deep philosophical reflection on the moral and political problem of " black disembodiment. " This article tracks the theme of disembodiment in Coates's book by foregrounding the role that feminist theories of embodiment play in his exploration of the contemporary black condition in America.
