A sweeping history of transformative, radical, and abolitionist
movements in the United States that places the struggle for racial
justice at the center of universal liberation. In Where Do We Go
From Here? (1967), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., described racism as
"a philosophy based on a contempt for life," a totalizing social
theory that could only be confronted with an equally massive
response, by "restructuring the whole of American society." A Wider
Type of Freedom provides a survey of the truly transformative
visions of racial justice in the United States, an often-hidden
history that has produced conceptions of freedom and
interdependence never envisioned in the nation's dominant political
framework. A Wider Type of Freedom brings together stories of the
social movements, intellectuals, artists, and cultural formations
that have centered racial justice and the abolition of white
supremacy as the foundation for a universal liberation. Daniel
Martinez HoSang taps into moments across time and place to reveal
the longstanding drive toward a vision of universal emancipation.
From the nineteenth century's abolition democracy and the struggle
to end forced sterilizations, to the twentieth century's domestic
worker organizing campaigns, to the twenty-first century's
environmental justice movement, he reveals a bold, shared desire to
realize the antithesis of "a philosophy based on a contempt for
life," as articulated by Martin Luther King Jr. Rather than seeking
"equal rights" within failed systems, these efforts generated new
visions that embraced human difference, vulnerability, and
interdependence as core productive facets of our collective
experience.
