YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJoin us in celebrating the 20th anniversary edition of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination! First published in 2002, Freedom Dreams is a staple in the study of the Black radical tradition. Unearthing the history of renegade intellectuals and artists of the African diaspora in the 20th century, Kelley lays the foundations for modern conceptions of Black radical visions and movements. He incorporates theory into an original study on liberation to explore rare sites of resistance. Focusing on the insights of activists from C. L. R. James to Aime Cesaire and Malcolm X, Kelley chronicles the hope that Communism offered, the mindscapes of Surrealism, the transformative potential of intersectional feminism, and the 400-year-old dream of reparations for slavery and Jim Crow.
