Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- The aesthetics of double-consciousness: A La-Kanyan analysis of oppression through artivism -- The pathology of black subjectivity: the public misconstruction of Ye's bipolarity and his radical reconstruction -- Make America Great: Ye's cultural appropriation of MAGA as an act of cultural resistance -- Conclusion."This book, which includes a foreword by Tommy Curry, is a theoretical biography of Ye. It particularly focuses on the 5-year period from 2016 to 2021 (the Shaky-Ass Years) in an effort to think psychoanalytically about his complex subjectivity, his struggle with manic-depression, the thin line between the personal and the political when it comes to celebrity culture, and, of course, his aesthetic productions - be they in the form of music, video, or fashion - which the author regards as also being ethical and political projects/objects. The book takes what Ye says seriously, as opposed to dismissing him through the use of stigmatizing terms. The author specifically aligned his desire with Donda's in an attempt to see him from her point of view - that is, through the legacy of unconditional love." --
