"Let the Dead Speak!: Black Being-ness As Ground of Resistance" argues than an escalated criminalization of poverty within the United States has resulted in the expansion of the US penal system into one of the most powerful weapons of domination utilized against poor Black people today. Beginning with the tracing of the historical and unbroken lineage of slavery, convict leasing, incarceration, and the creation of a prison industrial complex, the centrality of racism as grounds for theorizing on the institution of prisons is established. Second, taking seriously Angela Davis's contention that incarceration is the current manifestation of historical expressions of race and oppression, "Let the Dead Speak!" utilizes the work of "slavery racial capitalism" historians to show that US slavery was not the result of a few bad actors but was rather was an economic category that relied on the brutality and violence against Black bodies as the engine of its development. In addition, "Let the Dead Speak!" establishes the ground for deepening the argument that the relationship of prisons to slavery should be thought of as the relationship of prison to racial capitalism. Third, adopting Achille Mbembe's framework of necropolitics, this dissertation argues, with Mbembe, that US capitalism and democracy stabilizes itself through discipline, control, and terror of Black bodies. In addition, with Mbembe, "Let the Dead Speak!" calls us to imagine "politics as a form of war," and ask, "What place is given to life, death, and the human body (in particular the wounded or slain body)? How are they inscribed in the order of power?" And what does the right to kill tell us about the underlying technologies of violence of the state and, more importantly, what does the exercising of that right tell us about the state's relationship to the one put to death? Finally, utilizing the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, as a point for further theorizing, "Let the Dead Speak!" posits that activists, in their quest to legitimize the lives of those who have heretofore been deemed an abomination, often engage in a politics of recognition that appeals to juridical power structures that reinscribe, stabilize, and consolidate rather than disrupt and reshape hegemonic norms of oppression. Offering a re-reading of James Cone's Black Theology and Black Power with Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks and Wretched of the Earth, "Let the Dead Speak!" concludes that Black death at the hand of the state offers a window into and critique of state violence that is normalized and often masked, and Black being-ness---not as identity but as emblematic of full humanness with and in God---provides a grounding for resisting oppression even in the face of death.
