AFS 570 - The Black Radical Tradition
This course examines the black radical tradition from slavery to the present, paying particular attention of twentieth-century social movements and the intersection between trade unionism, black nationalism, internationalism, and Marxism. Black radicalism has a long history in the United States and beyond. At its core, this tradition has housed diverse, at times conflicting, ideological strains, personalities, and organizations ranging from black feminists, Marxists, socialists, liberals, trade unionists, artists, and intellectuals. In the process this tradition has run afoul of more mainstream expressions of Black protest (although in certain eras, such as during the Black Power Movement, it has represented the mainstream), and black radicals are often marginalized as wild-eye dreamers, naive to the ways of the world.
