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

4.0

lol i usually don't write reviews but for any1 interested - this book was extremely dense as far as the breadth of its historical scope and theoretical analysis (and i have never actually read marx shh...) but i would say if you are at all interested in the history of the Black radical tradition / confused about why Black radicalism and Western socialism often conflict ideologically - reading just the introduction and conclusion of this book will be VERY helpful in condensing centuries of the histories of capitalism/colonialism/imperialism and forms of resistance to these systems. (but also warning that this book fails to include gender in its analysis of race/class yikes)
