Reflections on Black Marxism

Atlanta, Georgia

Cedric Robinson’s work on the Black radical tradition is, in effect, a challenge to the basic cultural and social assumptions of western society. These assumptions - the underlying ‘terms of order’ holding society together - limit our perception of the choices that are available to us, even seeping into programmes for radical change, such as Marxism. But by recovering the hidden histories of resistance by those on the margins of capitalism, in this case in the African diaspora, we can move beyond the misconceptions and myths that bind us to power.

Key Words: African diaspora • Black radical tradition • Cedric Robinson • history • Marxism • myth • resistance
