"Archives of Fleshis a daring and beautifully written book, offering reflections on the current state of Black studies and the sociopolitical and geographical locations of Blackness that inform our dominant discourses. With this volume, Reid-Pharr expands his reputation as a rigorous and iconoclastic scholar who pushes the field to examine its sacred cows and consider how their rigid mythologies cost us the development of more truthful, insightful, and liberating analytical practices. A bold indictment of the intellectual inflexibility that informs mainstream discourses on Blackness and the politics of difference,Archives of Fleshholds its own as a polemic by one of our most famous and respected contemporary scholars." - Michelle Wright,author of Physics of Blackness: Beyond the Middle Passage Epistemology
