As Black As Resistance / Zoé Samudzi

Public ISBD Title : As Black As Resistance : Finding The Conditions For Liberation Material Type: printed text Authors: Zoé Samudzi, Author ; William C. Anderson, Author Publisher: AK Press Publication Date: 2018 ISBN (or other code): 978-1-84935-316-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Anarchism Black Studies Black/Anti-Black Politics Abstract: In the United States, both struggles against oppression and the gains made by various movements for equality have often been led by Black people. Still, though progress has regularly been fueled by radical Black efforts, liberal politics are based on ideas and practices that impede the continued progress of Black America. Building on their original essay “The Anarchism of Blackness,” Samudzi and Anderson show the centrality of anti-Blackness to the foundational violence of the United States and to the racial structures upon which it is based as a nation. Racism is not, they say, simply a product of capitalism. Rather, we must understand how anti-Blackness shaped the contours and logics of European colonialism and its many legacies, to the extent that “Blackness” and “citizenship” are exclusive categories. As Black As Resistance makes the case for a new program of self-defense and transformative politics for Black Americans, one rooted in an anarchistic framework that the authors liken to the Black experience itself. This book argues against compromise and negotiation with intolerance. It is a manifesto for everyone who is ready to continue progressing towards liberation. With a Foreword by Mariame Kaba.

Futures of Black Radicalism / Gaye Theresa Johnson

Public ISBD Title : Futures of Black Radicalism Material Type: printed text Authors: Gaye Theresa Johnson, Editor ; Alex Lubin, Editor Publisher: Verso Publication Date: 2017 ISBN (or other code): 978-1-7847-8758-5 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Black Studies Keywords: Black radicalism  anti-capitalism  activism  Black movements  history  protests. Abstract: Black 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.
