<br />
<br />
<img alt=""Against Innocence: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Safety" by Jackie Wang. First published in LIES: A Journal of Materialist Feminism Vol. 1 (liesjournal.info), 2012.
“Ultimately, our appeals to innocence demarcate who is killable and rapable, even if we are trying to strategically use such appeals to protest violence committed against one of our comrades. […] When we rely on appeals to innocence, we foreclose a form of resistance that is outside the limits of law, and instead ally ourselves with the State.”

What role does social death and anti-Blackness play in militant politics? This week's reading, written by an American Afropessimist theorist, juxtaposes three urban guerrilla groups (the German Red Army Faction, the Black Liberation Army, and the Irish Republican Army). It attempts to think their difference from the point of view of race, social death, and the 'capacity' or incapacity to enact a dialogical play of recognition with the State and civil society.<br />

<br />
For a bit of background on the Afropessimist perspective on the significance of the legacy of slavery and Blackness for contemporary radical political theory, the same author has a well-known essay from 2003, entitled "Gramsci's Black Marx: Whither the Slave In Civil Society?"<br />
