Review Quotes:
"There are books that leave you feeling inspired, challenged, and wanting more. Okello's On Blackness, Liveliness, and What It Means to Be Human does that and more. As powerful as it is beautiful, the book deftly brings the reader on a journey through genres and masterfully weaves across disciplines. By centering Black Study and issuing a call to study 'liveliness, ' Okello makes a profound and welcomed intervention, modeling an 'otherwise' that will forever change this thing we call student development theory." - Keon McGuire, North Carolina State University
