Description:


Cedric Robinson “ political theorist, historian, and activist “ was one of the greatest black radical thinkers of the twentieth century. In this powerful work, the first major book to tell his story, Joshua Myers shows how Robinson™s work interrogated the foundations of western political thought, modern capitalism, and changing meanings of race.


Tracing the course of Robinson™s journey from his early days as an agitator in the 1960s to his publication of such seminal works as Black Marxism, Myers frames Robinson™s mission as aiming to understand and practice opposition to śthe terms of order.ť In so doing, Robinson excavated the Black Radical tradition as a form of resistance that imagined that life on wholly different terms was possible.
In the era of Black Lives Matter, that resistance is as necessary as ever, and Robinson™s contribution only gains in importance. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to learn more about it.
