Kevin Ochieng Okoth revisits historical moments when Black radicalism was defined by international solidarity in the struggle against capitalist-imperialism, that together help us to navigate the complex histories of the Black radical tradition. He\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003echallenges common misconceptions about national liberation, showing that the horizon of national liberation was not limited to the nation-building projects of post-independence governments. While African socialists sought to distance themselves from Marxism and argued for a 'third way' socialism rooted in 'traditional African culture' the intellectual and political tradition Okoth calls 'Red Africa' showed that Marxism and Black radicalism were never incompatible. \u003cbr\u003eThe revolutionary Black politics of Eduardo Mondlane, Amalcar Cabral, Walter Rodney and Andree Blouin gesture toward a decolonised future that never materialised. We might yet build something new from the ruins of national liberation, something which clings onto the utopian promise of freedom and refuses to let go. \u003ci\u003eRed Africa\u003c\/i\u003e is not simply an exercise in nostalgia, it is a political project that hopes to salvage what remains of this tradition-which has been betrayed, violently suppressed, or erased-and to build from it a Black revolutionary politics capable of imagining new futures out of the uncertain present.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636884295838,"sku":"UBD-9781839767371","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839767371.jpg?v=1774398664","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839767371","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
