Blacks on the (Radical) Left: A Select Bibliography
My latest bibliography, Blacks on the (Radical) Left, is
here. What follows is the introduction to this list:
This compilation was inspired by a blog post—and the
excellent suggestions in the comments appended thereto—of the African American
Intellectual History Society by Terrell Jermaine Starr. The original list,
which was not intended to be exhaustive, focused on “African Americans and
Communism,” while this compilation is—hence the title—broader than what
motivated Starr’s list. By “radical Left” is meant those individuals and groups
committed to more or less Marxist, Communist (and communist), and/or Socialist
moral principles, political ideas and values, and their corresponding methods
and means of praxis. I welcome suggestions for possible additions to this list.
As with most of my bibliographies, this one has two main constraints: books, in
English. Because I have a separate bibliography on the Black Panther Party, I
have not included titles that would otherwise be added here, given the
Panthers’ “socialist core.” Readers may be interested in a handful of other
lists loosely related to this one: (1) Africana and African American Philosophy; (2) After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization; (3) Pan-Africanism, Black Internationalism, & Black Cosmopolitanism; (4) Marx & Marxism; and (5)
Philosophy and Racism.
