The Black condition and the hypocritical societyongoing racism as residual slavery, colonialism and apartheid /[electronic resource] :by Frank Aragbonfoh Abumere. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xxi, 179 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Ongoing Racism as Residual Slavery, Colonialism and Apartheid -- Chapter 2: Causal and Constitutive Roles of Racism -- Chapter 3: The Black Condition -- Chapter 4: The Hypocritical Society -- Chapter 5: The Politics of Superfluousity -- Chapter 6: To Rectify or Not to Rectify, That is the Question -- Chapter 7: Black Agency and Black Resistance.

This book examines the enduring legacies of slavery, colonialism, and apartheid, arguing that these are not merely historical events but ongoing injustices shaping systemic racism today. Through a six-fold framework, the book explores the links between the past and present (the residuality objective), the possibility of future injustices (the probability objective), and the necessity of rectificatory justice. The book also proposes pathways for addressing these legacies (the way-forward objective) while encouraging Black and African communities to focus on empowerment and resilience beyond demands for rectification (the beyond rectification and realistic resolution objectives). With a critical eye on the ongoing impacts of slavery, colonialism, and apartheid, the author challenges the notion that these injustices are mere historical relics. Instead, this book demonstrates how their residues are embedded in the systemic racism that persists today. It calls for a reckoning with the past to dismantle the structures of racism in the present. Frank Aragbonfoh Abumere is a philosopher and political scientist, and currently a visiting assistant professor at Clark Atlanta University. He was a Senior Member of St Antony's College (University of Oxford), an Academic Visitor at the African Studies Centre (University of Oxford), and a visiting fellow at LSE.
