Black Marxism shattered the taken-for-granted of understanding the
modern world, allowing us to see the racist nature of capitalism.
There are very few books that transform how we have to approach the
world and Black Marxism is one of them

A handbook for a new generation of radicals and activists ...
Robinson's work helpfully points to the tension in Marxism between
the march towards progress and the spontaneous character of
revolution... offers a sense of belonging and a means of imagining
a common future
