Writing in solidarity: the new generation

Department of Africana studies, University of Michigan-Flint

How can we build a new generation of radical scholars to survive the new world order? How, practically, can such scholars participate in, sustain and recreate the Black radical tradition for the future? The November 2004 Symposium on Cedric Robinson’s Radical Thought was one such initiative, which, both in its intent and its format, subverted the standard mode of the academic conference. Drawing on her experience as one of its organisers, the author reflects more deeply on the nature of academic life and its tendency to isolationism, the specific challenges it poses to radical women academics of colour and the need to develop ongoing, collaborative writing and scholarship.

Key Words: academia • Black Marxism • Black radical tradition • Cedric Robinson • women of colour
