Description
Cedric J. Robinson's groundbreaking work challenges the very foundations of Western radical thought, arguing that Marxism, as developed in Europe, fails to account for the unique experiences and resistance of Black peoples. Through a meticulous examination of history and philosophy, Robinson reveals the distinctiveness of the Black radical tradition, forged in the crucible of slavery and colonialism. He traces its intellectual lineage, highlighting its divergence from European socialist thought and its profound influence on key figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and C.L.R. James. This seminal text offers a powerful reinterpretation of history and a vital framework for understanding liberation struggles.
