“The fake outrage of academic philosophy amazes me.”
Tommy J. Curry is the Personal Chair of Africana Philosophy and Black Male Studies at the University of Edinburgh, renowned for his critical scholarship on the intersection of race, gender, and power. He was awarded the prestigious American Book Award for his groundbreaking book The Man Not, which dismantles prevailing narratives by arguing that Black masculinity is not a mimicry of white patriarchy but a unique and oppositional identity.
Curry’s work has been hailed by scholars as “required reading for all who work at the intersection of race and gender, especially in the current political milieu,” and he continues to challenge academic orthodoxy through his fierce public interventions, teaching, and edited volumes in Africana philosophy.
“Tommy Curry challenges the cozy consensus among self-conceived progressives in the humanities… required reading for anyone interested in understanding oppression or having unquestioned assumptions put to the test." —Charles W. Mills, Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center
