Praise
“Beaumont is one of the most brilliant of the younger generation of English critics”
—Terry Eagleton, author of How to Read Literature
“In this fascinating and wide-ranging book, Beaumont reminds us that walking is far from a neutral activity; it is, rather, “irreducibly political”. With the help of Frantz Fanon, Beaumont locates freedom at the level of the body; free from the systems of oppression, exploitation, and harassment.”
—Lauren Elkin, author of Flâneuse
“Easily translating abstruse philosophical concepts into fluid prose, Beaumont sheds light on the inherent impossibility of existing as a Black body in a colonialized society … Assured and erudite, this is well worth a look.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
