Drawing on ideas from his two recent books, "Freedom, Justice, and Decolonization" (2021) and "Fear of Black Consciousness" (2022), Dr. Gordon explains how the project of dehumanization involved false statements in the study of racialized slaves, particularly through conceptions that view them in antilock societies as “raw” labor. In fact proposing a decolonization of the study of slavery, it examines, through a critical African existential philosophical analysis, what it means to be human, liberated and free.
The From Slavery to Freedom Lab is based at the Franklin Humanities Institute with support from the Mellon Foundation's Global Engagement Fund within the Duke Office of Global Affairs.
