 A final theme in contemporary Africana philosophy brings us full circle, in a way. It reflects the imperatives of a philosophy born of struggle, it draws out and builds on the core idea of problematicity, and it reflects the ongoing effort, just discussed, to find ever more adequate conceptual tools for engaging deep problems. This theme—call it a focus on Black life and social death—unites several different currents of thought and activism, all radically distinct but all interested in the ethical and existential stakes of Black life in a world that remains anti-Black not just at the level of individual prejudices but also at the level of sociopolitical, epistemic, axiological, and ontological structures.
