Black Marxism, Revised and Updated Third Edition

Meer over het boek

The book critiques the limitations of Marxist theory in understanding Black resistance, arguing that it often overlooks the agency of Black individuals and communities. Cedric Robinson emphasizes the importance of connecting Black radicalism to African traditions and the distinct experiences of Black people in the West. He advocates for a more nuanced analysis of African American history that recognizes these influences, challenging conventional historical narratives that prioritize European perspectives.
