Black radical tradition

Philosophical and political ideology


The Black radical tradition[1] is a philosophical tradition and political ideology with roots in 20th century North America. It is a "collection of cultural, intellectual, action-oriented labor aimed at disrupting social, political, economic, and cultural norms originating in anti-colonial and antislavery efforts."[2] It was first popularised by Cedric Robinson's book Black Marxism.[3]

Influential concepts from the Black radical tradition include abolition, racial capitalism, and intersectionality.[4] The Black radical tradition is closely related to anti-colonial, decolonial thought and Marxist third worldism.[5][6]

Prominent figures and movements associated with the Black radical tradition include W. E. B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, Angela Davis, the civil rights movement, Black feminism, Afrocentrism, and contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter. A prominent Black Radical journal is Race & Class.[7]
