"A timely, insightful work, Dance Cadaverous offers an accessible and clear account of the distinctions between racism and antiblackness for scholars and the general public alike."--Joy James, author of, New Bones Abolition "This is a short book that packs an intellectual punch. An incisive and ground-breaking contribution, it engages clearly and succinctly how slavery and death shape modern theorizing. Moon-Kie Jung and Joao H. Costa Vargas bring us back to the limits of the human as a paradigm by drawing on a wide range of Black contemporary scholarship, taking the dialogue on antiblackness in a new and exciting direction. A necessary and urgent intervention."--Rinaldo Walcott, author of, The Long Emancipation "Rigorously and adventuresomely shows what happens to social theory and radical politics when we take seriously Toni Morrison's contention that we all live in the era of the slave trade."--David Roediger, author of, An Ordinary White
