      In Riotous Deathscapes, Hugo ka Canham presents an understanding of life and deathbased on indigenous and black ways of knowing that he terms Mpondo theory. Focusingon amaMpondo people from rural Mpondoland, in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Canhamoutlines the methodologies that have enabled the community’s resilience and survival.He assembles historical events and a cast of ancestral and living characters, followingthe tenor of village life, to offer a portrait of how Mpondo people live and die in theface of centuries of abandonment, trauma, antiblackness, and death. Canham showsthat Mpondo theory is grounded in and develops in relation to the natural world, wherethe river and hill are key sites of being and resistance. Central too, is the interfacebetween ancestors and the living, in which life and death become a continuity and aboundlessness that white supremacy and neoliberalism cannot interdict. By chartinga course of black life in Mpondoland, Canham tells a story of blackness on the Africancontinent and beyond.
