Discover the profound insights of Cedric Robinson's 'Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition'. This foundational work of Black Radical critical theory, now widely available for the first time, delves deep into the complexities of Black identity and resistance.

James, and Richard Wright, 'Black Marxism' is essential reading for anyone interested in social justice, critical race theory, and the transformative power of Black liberation movements.

A foundational work of Black Radical critical theory, now to be widely available here for the first time
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.
