On Cuddling: Loved to Death in the Racial Embrace Volume 5 (Antwi Phanuel)(Paperback)

'An urgent and elegant text...excavating the many meanings of cuddling under racial capitalism. Antwi's writing is lyrical and powerful; the way he harnesses epistemology and polysemy to build both dancing prose and crucial political analysis, is revelatory.' Sophie K Rosa, author of Radical Intimacy 'A necessary book about holding, being held and the hold(s) of the past. Playful, vulnerable, ever acute - Antwi gets down with the funk of language, history, and bodies to make fugitive sense of modernity as anti-Black grammar and embrace.' Nadine Attewell, scholar of intimacy, empire, and diasporic life From the terrifying embrace of the slave ship's hold to the racist encoding of 'cuddly' toys, On Cuddling is a unique combination of essay and poetry that contends with how racial violence is enacted through intimacy.
