In a time when activists in Ferguson, Palestine, Baltimore, and
Hong Kong immediately connect across vast distances, this book
makes clear that new Black radical politics is thoroughly

and anti-capitalism. Featuring the key voices in this new
intellectual wave, this collection outlines one of the most
vibrant areas of thought today.
