Cedric Robinson and the Black Radical Tradition

Dr. Josh Myers sat down with us for this special discussion of the life and work of Cedric Robinson, in particular, his most famous and still-relevant work, Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition.

Took class with professor Robinson in 1974 at SUNY Binghamton. He brought C.L.R James to our campus for a seminar.

Bro...these videos are essential to me. You have educated me far beyond what I might ever have learned. So proud of your probing search for Truth.

[@SagesseNoir]

I read Cedric Robinson's "BLACK MARXISM: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition" back when it came out in the 1980s. I need to read it again.

Thanks ! Great interview. Having finished reading Black Marxism and enjoying the challenging The Terms of Order now, I was happy to come across this video

[@JadorrionChimurenga]

Thank you for this video brother. I can say confidently, that without your work, I probably would've never heard of this book. I've just bought it and I'm deeply excited to read it. Much appreciation!

[@omalone1169]

Who has better books?

[@MalickDoucoureYT]

I love this video, thank you so much for taking the time to create and share this. I just finished reading Black Marxism and this really helped me collect and understand my thoughts on the text.

10:03 I mean the whole discussion was amazing. But this part exactly it's what caught my attention. That whole paragraph was Bars 🔥🔥🔥

[@victorpate24]

How do you both assess the work of Hubert Harrison with regards to the Black Radical Tradition?
Also what is your position on Theodore W Allen's 'Invention of the white Race'?

I first heard about this through Kimathi Carr.
And glad to finally see Jared . Can appreciate the upset when Gus T Renegade was asking about his mother

The only way out of this is through the spirit, and not through the gross matter.

[@obakengafrica2919]

Is "I Mix What I Like" a play on Biko's "I write what I like"?

[@omalone1169]

Exactly!

But how is Black Marxism separate from Marxism? Liked folks like Huey, George Jackson, were contributing to the Marxist tradition (of course with the influence of Fanon, Malcolm X etc,) but also Lenin, Mao and other marxists.
