This is in the category of “books that find us.” I had never heard of Roger Reeves before, nor this book. I think it was the “Fugitive” in the subtitle that caught my eye. It found the fugitive scaffolding in my brain from Fred Moten and Stefan Harney’s The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study and Fugitive Pedagogy; Carter G. Woodson and The Art of Black Teaching by Jarvis R. Givens.  Dark Days is one of the best essay collections I’ve read. His contextual juxtapositions are stunning. They become portals into new ways of thinking about our collective and individual experience.
