Futures of Black Radicalism by Gaye Theresa Johnson
With racial justice struggles on the rise, a probing collection considers the past and future of Black radicalism
Cedric Robinson was a towering intellectual and courageous activist in the grand tradition of WE.B Du Bois. In these bleak times, it is imperative to keep his legacy alive and build on his work and witness. This book meets this imperative in a powerful way! -- Cornel West, author of The Radical King
In America, issues of race, poverty, and injustice haunt our nation. Futures of Black Radicalism, edited by Gaye Theresa Johnson and Alex Lubin, examines causes and resolutions of these troubling challenges. The need for radical thinking has never been more evident. To this end, this book is not just a gift; it is a necessity. -- Harry Belafonte
An astonishing gathering of essays and interviews featuring leading emerging radical intellectuals. -- David Roediger, author of Class, Race, and Marxism
What stands out about this book is the richness of intellectual discourse within its pages. A variety of historians, sociologists, and other scholars all tackle a central question: what, precisely, does the Black Radical Tradition say about life in the twenty-first century? -- Robert Greene III * Society for US Intellectual History Blog *
