LAUNDERING BLACK RAGE
1
"Deep in the heart of US civilization are pieces of leather and iron, the instruments of enslavement and brutality, the memory of rebellions and the dreams of emancipations. Those instruments produced Black Rage, an angry reaction to an angry system, but a Black Rage that is capable of widening itself and building a new civilization. This book dances between the reality of Black Rage and its capacity to produce a world of love."
—Vijay Prashad, Director, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
"Wide ranging, thorough, and unflinching analysis of Black politics in the 21st century US—a must read for activists, scholars, and anyone who knows that Black politics matters."
—Olúfẹìmi O. Táíwò, author of Elite Capture: How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else)
"The subjugation and cooptation of Black people's rage are inevitable under the regime of racial capitalism. Laundering Black Rage is a must read for revolutionary analysis."
—Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report
