Stephen Best: Power, Politics, and Epiphany

In None Like Us (Duke, 2018) Stephen Best (English Department, UC Berkeley) reappraises what he calls “melancholy historicism,” in which the imagination is directed toward the recovery of a “we” at the point of “our” violent origin. Through an examination of cultural texts including the literature of Toni Morrison and Gwendolyn Brooks and the visual art of El Anatsui and Mark Bradford, Best argues that there can be no “we” following from such a time and place, that black identity is constituted in and through negation.Best is joined by Damon Young (Film &amp; Media and French Departments).

Berkeley Book Chats # 16, Stephen Best, 10/16/2019

Welcome back to the podcast.  Sorry for the delay, but hey, at least we've now got a new theme song thanks to Jose Aljovin. It only took me nearly 100 episodes and over 5 years to get around to it, but hey, better late than never, right? This week we have on the podcast my pastor Stephen Best returning for another discussion.  This time, he let me just ask him questions about his thoughts on some of the stuff that goes on in some charismatic circles.  We talk about gold dust, angel feathers, 100-fold return offerings, and personal prophecy.   Join us for a light-hearted but sober discussion.  Don't foget subscribe to our new feed, or to add us on Stitcher!
