Wright Austin: The Black Social and Solidarity Economy as a Site of Politicized Action Esteban Kelly: AfterwordReviewsThis is an important book on an often neglected subject. The authors do an excellent job of providing hidden histories and highlighting marginalized analyses and ways of knowing. It definitely should be of interest especially to people studying cooperative economics, solidarity economics, Black political economy, community economic development, and Black Studies and settler colonialism more broadly. It also should appeal to people in finance, especially community finance and community-based asset building. While the main audience for this book is undergraduate and graduate students and academics, I am excited that it is also written quite accessibly and is reader friendly. Practitioners and community activists will be interested in this book and able to understand it - and use it. * Jessica Gordon-Nembhard, Professor of Community Justice and Social Economic Development, Department of Africana Studies at John Jay College, CUNY * The rising interest in the concept of racial capitalism has yet to be followed by a systematic exploration of its possible operationalisation for global development studies debates. Centering forms of alternative cooperative finance and - most importantly - the experiences of Black and racialised communities across the world, this exciting book starts filling this important gap. * Alessandra Mezzadri, a feminist political economist of global development, SOAS, University of London * The volume's broad coverage of both historical and contemporary cases showcases the ways in which Black people in the African Diaspora have imagined and sought to model various alternatives to the developmental thought and programs that racial capitalism underwrites. The data and narratives of Black social economy presented here are extraordinary. The resurgent interests on Robinson's work makes this volume a logical read and welcome addition. * H. L. T.
