Excavating the history of Marxism and Black revolutionary politics
Red Africa makes the case for a revolutionary Black politics
inspired by Marxist anticolonial struggles in Africa. Contemporary
debates on Black radicalism and decolonisation have lost sight of
the concerns that animated their twentieth-century intellectual
forebears. Okoth responds, challenging the claim that Marxism and
Black radicalism are incompatible and showing that both are
embraced in the anti-imperialist tradition he calls 'Red Africa'.
The politics of Black revolutionary writers Eduardo Mondlane,
Amílcar Cabral, Walter Rodney and Andrée Blouin gesture toward a
decolonised future that never materialised - instead it was
betrayed, violently sup- pressed, or erased. We might yet build
something new from the ruins of national liberation, something
which sustains the utopian promise of freedom and refuses to
surrender. Red Africa is a political project that hopes to salvage
what remains of this tradition.
