Class Details

This course will grapple with the analysis of capitalism that has emerged out of the Black radical tradition. Examining how the traces of slavery have continued in capitalism following emancipation, this intellectual and political tradition also foregrounds race as a material, concrete relationship that is visible in the organization of economic life: in the production of the goods and services necessary for society to reproduce itself. We will focus on Black freedom struggles, and their analyses and proposals towards achieving radical emancipation and racial justice. This seminar course will involve collaborative and individual research work.
