This upcoming Wednesday, we will continue our study session of “Black Scare/Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States” by Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly for Black Study Group. This book discusses the long history of anti-Black and anti-communist/radical repression that has been integral in domestic and foreign US policies and governance, and how racism and racial hierarchy are at the heart of capitalist exploitation and US society.
We will be reading an abridged version of chapter 3, “Genres of Black Radicalism”, and discussing how Radical Blackness embodied the pre-eminent threat of the Black Scare and the Red Scare, exemplified the ultimate threat to the US Capitalist Racist Society, and could be understood through 3 genres: 1) The West Indian, 2) the Outside Agitator, and 3) Red Black / Black Red
This event will be available in-person and on zoom!
