This series highlights these critical ideas from anywhere in the black world, creating a new history of radical thought for our times. At a time when there is a deep desire for change, black radicalism is one of the most underexplored traditions that can drive emancipatory change today. It includes books which foreground this rich and complex history. The Black Critique series operates squarely within this tradition of ideas and political struggles. They drew inspiration from the Haitian revolution, radical black abolitionist thought and practice, and other currents that marked the contours of a black radical intellectual and political tradition. Du Bois and Steve Biko, from Claudia Jones to Walter Rodney and Amílcar Cabral produced work which drew from the historical experiences of Africa and the African diaspora. In opposition, throughout the twentieth century and until today, anti-racist, radical decolonization struggles attempted to create new forms of thought.

The end of colonial empires did not inaugurate a more humane world rather, the old order reasserted itself. The rise of authoritarianism marks the dominant current political order. Illustration Black Minded Black Critique Series editors: Anthony Bogues and Bedour Alagraa
