Book Synopsis A powerful indictment of the ways elites have co-opted radical critiques of racial capitalism to serve their own ends. Review Quotes "Olúuacute;féeacute;mi Táaacute;íiacute;wòograve; is a thinker on fire. He not only calls out empire for shrouding its bloodied hands in the cloth of magical thinking but calls on all of us to do the same. Elite capture, after all, is about turning oppression and its cure into a (neo)liberal commodity exchange where identities become capitalism's latest currency rather than the grounds for revolutionary transformation. The lesson is clear: only when we think for ourselves and act with each other, together in deep, dynamic, and difficult solidarity, can we begin to remake the world." -Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination "Among the churn of books on 'wokeness' and 'political correctness, ' philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò's Elite Capture clearly stands out. With calm, clarity, erudition, and authority, Táíwò walks the reader through the morass, deftly explicating the distinction between substantive and worthy critique and weaponized backlash. Understanding the culture wars is essential to US politics right now, and no one has done it better than Táíwò in this book." --Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works "With global breath, clarity and precision, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò dissects the causes and consequences of elite capture and charts an alternative constructive politics for our time. The result is an erudite yet accessible book that draws widely on the rich traditions of black and anticolonial political thought." --Adom Getachew, author of Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination About the Author Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. He is also the author of Reconsidering Reparations.
While a modicum of consciousness may have had survivalist properties during an immemorial chapter of our evolution – so one theory goes – this faculty soon enough became a seditious agent working against us … we need to hamper our consciousness for all we are worth or it will impose upon us a too clear vision of what we do not want to see … Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be unself-conscious of what we are – hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones
