| Incognegro is the winner of the 2008 American Book Award/Before Columbus Foundation. In 1995, a South African journalist informed Frank Wilderson, one of only two Black American members of the African National Congress (ANC), that President Nelson Mandela considered him “a threat to national security.” Wilderson was asked to comment. Incognegro is that “comment.” It is also his response to a question posed five years later by a student in a California university classroom: “How come you came back?” -http://www.southendpress.org/2007/items/87835 Presented by the UCI Humanities Collective in conjunction with the International Center for Writing and Translation.
