1	Steve Biko’s Africana existential phenomenology : on blackness, black solidarity, and liberation Mpungose, Cyprian Lucky 07 1900 (has links) This study focuses on Steve Biko’s Africana existential phenomenology, with particular emphasis on the themes of blackness, black solidarity and liberation. The theoretical foundation of this thesis is Africana existential phenomenology, which is used as a lens to understand Biko’s political thought. The study argues that thematic areas of blackness, black solidarity, and liberation are inherent in Africana existential phenomenology. These thematic areas give a better understanding of existential questions of being black in the antiblack world. What is highlighted is the importance and the relevance of the revival of Biko’s thinking towards creating other modes of being that are necessary for the actualisation of blacks as full human subjects. / Political Sciences / M.A. (Politics) Africana existential phenomenology Antiblack racism Black consciousness Blackness Black solidarity Liberation Steve Biko 322.420968 Biko, Steve, 1946-1977 Anti-apartheid movements -- South Africa Apartheid -- South Africa South Africa -- Race relations Blacks -- Race identity -- South Africa Political prisoners -- South Africa
