In bookstores August 29, 2023.

I'm back with another thread! This time, we'll be looking at an important essay by Sylvia Wynter. In my estimation, no thinker has done more with and *for* the essay form than Wynter: an actress, dancer, playwright, novelist, writer, and towering intellectual.

Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days.
