Graphic Graphite reimagines how we see, recover and record Black life by confronting the histories of male rape by white male masters that traditional records avoid. Working through carved and erased graphite, Redding creates a visual counter‑record that brings suppressed narratives to the surface, including the practice of bucking and the way it operated as a sexualized system of domination. The book treats erasure as illumination, showing how images can speak where written records fall silent. Centering Black male vulnerability and the long shadow of coerced control, Graphic Graphite blends art, history and theory into a new language of recovery. It argues that the body, the page and the mark itself can hold what official records refuse to carry. The book is available on Amazon.com June 15th.

Black Power in the Age of Artificial Supremacy argues that as AI reshapes power, race, and identity, Black communities must confront how old hierarchies can be rebuilt through new technologies. Redding and Redding‑Shim Kwet Yung trace the legacy of dehumanization from slavery to algorithmic bias and introduce Robootology and Robootism as frameworks for understanding how AI can either reinforce oppression or become a tool for liberation. The book calls for Black technological and cultural sovereignty and warns that the future of justice depends on who controls emerging systems.
