Africana studies and the research collective

Africana studies programme at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan

The Black radical tradition, identified in Cedric Robinson’s work, provides a rich resource for the future challenges of Africana studies. Its model of emancipatory research, conducted by small groups of scholars closely linked to social movements, has roots not only in the North American tradition, but also in the Caribbean, which is focused on here. The concept of ‘praxis’ captures such an approach, suggesting ways in which activist-intellectuals can produce knowledge that connects with struggles against racial capitalism and highlight their global interconnectedness.
