Edward Onaci is associate professor of history at Ursinus College.
The quest for land and justice by the members of the Republic of
New Afrika (RNA) organization forms the heart of Edward Onaci's
monograph. Their journey intersects with elements of the Civil
Rights, Black Power, and Black Lives Matter movements in ways that
should make us think deeper about the intellectual, cultural, and
social contours of the longer Black Freedom movement."—Society for
U.S. Intellectual History
"In Free the Land, Onaci reorients histories of African American
territorial nationalism. . . . By focusing on the changes in New
Afrikan lives, Onaci foregoes the well-laid path of histories of
the Black Power movement. . . . Free the Land, ultimately,
demonstrates that even when politics seems to be about something as
traditional as acquiring land, it is also about the unseen labor of
building a movement and about the transformation of the lives of
its constituents."3The Baffler
