Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition

by Cedric J. Robinson
Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition - Thryft
Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition - Thryft

Reimagining radicalism through a Black lens.

If you're seeking to deepen your understanding of how Black radical traditions differ and challenge mainstream Western Marxism, "Black Marxism" is a profound read. It's more than a book—it's a thoughtful journey that threads history, sociology, and critical theory to reveal unique perspectives on struggle, resistance, and power. This exploration by Cedric Robinson could reshape your view on political thought and racial capitalism.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

'A towering achievement. There is simply nothing like it in the history of Black radical thought' Cornel West'Cedric Robinson's brilliant analyses revealed new ways of thinking and acting' Angela Davis'This work is about our people's struggle, the historical Black struggle'Any struggle must be fought on a people's own terms, argues Cedric Robinson's landmark account of Black radicalism. Marxism is a western construction, and therefore inadequate to describe the significance of Black communities as agents of change against 'racial capitalism'. Tracing the emergence of European radicalism, the history of Black African resistance and the influence of these on such key thinkers as W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James and Richard Wright, Black Marxism reclaims the story of a movement.
