ABSTRACT
In recent years, the theory of antiblackness known, generally, as 'afropessimism' has been taken up in the field of Education. In this article, the author outlines afropessimism and emplaces it into the traditions of Black educational thought, namely Critical Race Theory. The article also highlights the emerging contributions of scholars who have begun to incorporate the use of afropessimist theory into their work. Ultimately, the author argues that the urgent and critical questions that afropessimism demands has the potential to open up a whole new world of inquiry and action in our quest for a liberatory and liberated Black education.
