Cedric J. Robinson is considered one of the doyens of Black Studies
and a pioneer in study of the Black Radical Tradition. His works have
been essential texts, deconstructing racial capitalism and inspiring
insurgent movements from Ferguson to the West Bank.
For the first time,
Robinson's essays come together, spanning over four decades and
reflective of his diverse interests in the interconnections between
culture and politics, radical social theory and classic and modern
political philosophy. Themes explored include Africa and Black
internationalism, World politics, race and US Foreign Policy,
representations of blackness in popular culture, and reflections on
popular resistance to racial capitalism, white supremacy and more.
Accompanied by an
introduction by H. L. T. Quan and a foreword by Ruth Wilson Gilmore,
this collection, which includes previously unpublished materials,
extends the many contributions by a giant in Black radical thought.
