Recent global trends in the policing deaths and antipolicing protests of black people urge a reconsideration of the orientations and scope of black political thought. One of its central considerations must be black politics and its anticolonial/antiracial conditions of possibility. This is because the solidarity logics of blackness implicated in the signifier “black politics” continue to be insurgent in and repressed by Western capitalist, liberal democratic polities. Our understanding of the social, cultural, and existential oppositional activities among dispersed populations of African descent has been largely derived from black antislavery/ anticolonial/antiracial mobilizations spanning the sixteenth to twentyfirst centuries. Nevertheless, it remains the case that black politics appears to be one of the least elucidated and most contested concepts in contemporary political discourse. This is partly because whatever has been represented and configured as black politics has also been routinely marginalized, pathologized, repudiated, or attacked in Western political theory and Western polities. Delineating and contributing to a distinctive field of black political thought has always required that we recuperate conceptually the Western-attributed outlaw status of black politics. Here the task also

导言：论全球黑人抗议中的黑人政治思想

近期全球黑人警察死亡和反警察抗议的趋势促使人们重新考虑黑人政治思想的方向和范围。其核心考虑之一必须是黑人政治及其反殖民/反种族的可能性条件。这是因为与能指“黑人政治”有关的黑人团结逻辑继续在西方资本主义自由民主政体中反抗和压制。我们对分散的非洲人后裔之间的社会、文化和存在主义反对活动的理解很大程度上源自 16 至 21 世纪的黑人反奴隶制/反殖民/反种族动员。尽管如此，黑人政治似乎仍然是当代政治话语中阐明最少、争议最大的概念之一。这在一定程度上是因为在西方政治理论和西方政体中，任何被代表和配置为黑人政治的东西也经常被边缘化、病态化、否定或攻击。描绘黑人政治思想的一个独特领域并为之做出贡献总是要求我们在概念上恢复西方归因于黑人政治的非法地位。这里的任务也 描绘黑人政治思想的一个独特领域并为其做出贡献总是要求我们在概念上恢复西方归因于黑人政治的非法地位。这里的任务也 描绘黑人政治思想的一个独特领域并为之做出贡献总是要求我们在概念上恢复西方归因于黑人政治的非法地位。这里的任务也
