From well-known intellectuals such as Frederick Douglass and Nella
Larsen to often-obscured thinkers such as Amina Baraka and Bernardo
Ruiz Suarez, black theorists across the globe have engaged in
sustained efforts to create insurgent and resilient forms of
thought. New Perspectives on the Black Intellectual Tradition is a
collection of twelve essays that explores these and other theorists
and their contributions to diverse strains of political, social,
and cultural thought. The book examines four central themes within
the black intellectual tradition: black internationalism, religion
and spirituality, racial politics and struggles for social justice,
and black radicalism. The essays identify the emergence of black
thought within multiple communities internationally, analyze how
black thinkers shaped and were shaped by the historical moment in
which they lived, interrogate the ways in which activists and
intellectuals connected their theoretical frameworks across time
and space, and assess how these strains of thought bolstered black
consciousness and resistance worldwide. Defying traditional
temporal and geographical boundaries, New Perspectives on the Black
Intellectual Tradition illuminates the origins of and conduits for
black ideas, redefines the relationship between black thought and
social action, and challenges long-held assumptions about black
perspectives on religion, race, and radicalism. The intellectuals
profiled in the volume reshape and redefine the contours and
boundaries of black thought, further illuminating the depth and
diversity of the black intellectual tradition.
