Each chapter focuses on key figures or social movement including the slave Cugoano, the American anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells-Barnett, C.L.R. James, W.E.B. DuBois, former leader of the anti-colonial movement in Tanzania Julius Nyerere, Walter Rodney, the political philosophy of Rastafari and the activist-musican Bob Marley. This book should be of interest to anyone interested in the history of radical black thought and the development of an activist political tradition.
