With racial justice struggles on the rise, a probing collection
considers the past and future of Black radicalismBlack rebellion
has returned. Dramatic protests have risen up in scores of cities and
campuses; there is renewed engagement with the history of Black
radical movements and thought. Here, key intellectuals--inspired by
the new movements and by the seminal work of the scholar Cedric J.
Robinson--recall the powerful tradition of Black radicalism while
defining new directions for the activists and thinkers it inspires.In a time when
activists in Ferguson, Palestine, Baltimore, and Hong Kong
immediately connect across vast distances, this book makes clear that
new Black radical politics is thoroughly internationalist and redraws
the links between Black resistance and anti-capitalism. Featuring the
key voices in this new intellectual wave, this collection outlines
one of the most vibrant areas of thought today.With contributions
