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 "the terms of order. " 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.
"Cedric J. Robinson finally has found a worthy biographer in Joshua Myers. This book will remind you why we must urgently read and re-read Robinson' s work. A tour de force. "Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination"Joshua Myers has written a necessary and much needed text to broaden and deepen our understanding of the life, thought, and practice of Cedric Robinson.
