Johnson and Mandela Gray show that Hegel's abstract dialectic is transformed and critiqued when put into conversation with the lived dialectics of Black Thought: from Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs through to Malcolm X and Angela Davis.\u003cbr\u003eWhile Hegel articulates the dynamic logics that we see in these Black thinkers, when they are placed in parallel and considered together, \u003ci\u003ethe whiteness, \u003c\/i\u003eboth explicit and implicit, of\u003ci\u003e Hegelianism itself\u003c\/i\u003e is revealed.
