{"product_id":"history-of-pan-african-revolt-c-l-r-james-9781604860955","title":"History of Pan-African Revolt","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in England in 1938 (the same year as his magnum opus \u003cem\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/em\u003e) and expanded in 1969, this work remains the classic account of global black resistance. Robin D.G. Kelley's substantial introduction contextualizes the work in the history and ferment of the times, and explores its ongoing relevance today. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eA History of Pan-African Revolt\u003c\/em\u003e is one of those rare books that continues to strike a chord of urgency, even half a century after it was first published. Time and time again, its lessons have proven to be valuable and relevant for understanding liberation movements in Africa and the diaspora. Each generation who has had the opportunity to read this small book finds new insights, new lessons, new visions for their own age.... No piece of literature can substitute for a crystal ball, and only religious fundamentalists believe that a book can provide comprehensive answers to all questions. But if nothing else, \u003cem\u003eA History of Pan-African Revolt\u003c\/em\u003e leaves us with two incontrovertible facts. First, as long as black people are denied freedom, humanity and a decent standard of living, they will continue to revolt. Second, unless these revolts involve the ordinary masses and take place on their own terms, they have no hope of succeeding.\" --Robin D.G. Kelley, from the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I wish my readers to understand the history of Pan-African Revolt. They fought, they suffered--they are still fighting.
