Description
Black rebellion has returned, with dramatic protests in scores of cities and campuses, bringing with it a renewed engagement with the history of Black radical movements and thought.
Here, key scholarly voices from a wide array of disciplines recall the powerful tradition of Black radicalism as it developed in the 19th and 20th centuries while defining new directions for Black radical thought.
In a time when activists in Ferguson, Palestine, Baltimore, and Hong Kong immediately make connections between their movements, Futures of Black Radicalism makes clear that new Black radical politics are thoroughly internationalist and redraws connections between Black resistance and anti-capitalism.
Featuring the key voices in the new intellectual wave of Black radical thinking, including eminent scholars like Angela Davis, Manthia Diawara, Barbara Ransby, and Robin D.G. Kelley, as well as brilliant young voices, this collection outlines one of the most vibrant areas of thought today.
