Mabogo Percy More is a former professor of philosophy at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and is currently professor of philosophy at the University of Limpopo, South Africa. He is the author of many journal articles and his latest book is Biko: Philosophy, Identity and Liberation (HSRC Press, 2017). He was awarded the Frantz Fanon Lifetime Achievement award by the Caribbean Philosophical Association in 2015.

The title of the autobiography captures the intentions of the memoir: in reading these reflections, the non-black audience is given a glimpse of what it is like for the black person to be in philosophy, embodied as a black person and possessing a different epistemology. Simply put, More's memoir is about the negotiation that black scholars have to make in order so "survive" in the academy. … Overall, Looking Through Philosophy in Black reads as an ode, an ode to the black bodies that wish to continue with their careers in philosophy.
