Herukhuti's Conjuring the FUNK!
Destined to be a book that will be discussed, admired, quoted, cited, and taught for decades, Conjuring Black Funk: Notes on Culture, Sexuality, and Spirituality, Volume I (Vintage Entity Press), is finally available to purchase with two hot as hell covers. Check them out above.
This is the first book by Dr. Herukhuti, a fiery collection of essays, poetry, creative non-fiction, and experimental writing that challenges conventional thought, offers alternative perspectives, and suggests ways of practicing Afrocentric, queer liberation/transgression.
This book is an important contribution to Black Queer Theory, Black Feminist Thought, and Afrocentric Thought.
