Through the cultural terrain of literature by Toni Morrison, Nalo Hopkinson, Audre Lorde, and Octavia Butler, the art of Wangechi Mutu and Ezrom Legae, and the oratory of Frederick Douglass, Zakiyyah Iman Jackson both critiques and displaces the racial logic that has dominated scientific thought since the Enlightenment.

"Til syvende og sist burde vi mennesker ikke spørre hva meningen med livet er, men heller innse at det er oss selv som blir spurt." Dette er én av konklusjonene som Viktor E. Frankl trekker i logoterapien, som han utviklet på bakgrunn av sine tre år som konsentrasjonsleirfange. Ønsket om å få teoriene sine utbredt gav ham meningen med livet, og gjorde ifølge ham selv at han overlevde de umenneskelige vilkårene. I logoterapien blir viljen til mening framhevet som menneskets viktigste drivkraft, i motsetning til Freuds viljen til lyst og Adlers viljen til makt.

"I slutändan borde människan inte fråga vad meningen med livet är, utan snarare inse att det är hon själv som frågas."Detta är en av de slutsatser som Viktor E. Frankl drar i logoterapin, den analysform som han ut-vecklade utifrån tre års erfarenhet som fånge i koncentrationsläger. Det var önskan om att sprida sina teorier som gav honom meningen med livet, som enligt honom själv gjorde att han överlevde under de mest omänskliga förhållanden.
