Incognegro | Advance Praise
"Wilderson [will] become a major American writer. Mark my word."
-Ishmael Reed, author of Mumbo Jumbo
"Into the wake of great literature fighting human bondage, Frank Wilderson pours Incognegro. And, like the offerings of Ellison, Fanon, Baldwin and Morrison, this revolutionary love story must be widely read, generously shared, and relentlessly engaged."
-Joy James, author of Shadowboxing: Representations of Black Feminist Politics
"[F]requently beautiful.... Angry and paranoid."
-Kirkus
"Radical, defiant, and searingly honest, this memoir about being active in the freedom struggle in the US and in post-apartheid South Africa is bound to spark passionate argument as Wilderson weaves together his personal story with his politics, always critical of those in power."
-Booklist
"Fast-paced, critical, humorous, hilarious at times, Incognegro asks provocative questions about post-Apartheid South Africa and post-civil rights America with all the passion, the drama, and the political clarity of a great autobiography. With perspectives from different times and places in the two continents, and with an unerring eye and ear for a telling detail and image, Frank Wilderson brings a novelistic and dramatic imagination to a story of our times. It is a multi-layered narrative of a life molded in struggles for human dignity in America and Africa, at once a gripping story of racial politics and a biography of his soul."
-Ngugi wa Thiong'o, author of Wizard of the Crow
