I am glad to see that there has been a second wave of Black anarchists since 2015, arriving on the scene. I support the rights of all Black anarchists to build their movements. ... This is an excellent book and well-written. - Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, activist and author of Anarchism and the Black Revolution and The Progressive Plantation, former member of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Panther Party, and founder of Black Autonomy - the first Black anarchist federation in North America This revolutionary book reveals the political power of stretching the classical anarchic tradition to critiques of racial capitalism. ... With this book, the historical and continuing contributions of feminist thought, queer activism, and anti-colonial struggle to the movement are made clear. ... Read it now! - S.M. Rodriguez, Assistant Professor of Gender, Rights and Human Rights, London School of Economics, and author of The Economies of Queer Inclusion: Transnational Organizing for LGBTI Rights in Uganda. A necessary and accessible historical analysis of the often overlooked Black anarchism. Bagby-Williams and Za Suekama demonstrate that any revolutionary movement truly committed to a post-capitalist world must constructively engage with this Black radical tradition.- Toni Harrison, Black Canadian writer, community organizer, and host of the podcast Actually Existing Socialism What stood out the most for me was the inclusion of feminist and queer perspectives moving away from the ableist heteropatriarchy lens. In an era where movements are advocating for the abolition or reform of oppressive systems, this text helps in reflecting and reimagining what new inclusive systems may look like.- Tinashe Goronga, medical doctor and public health leader in Zimbabwe and a global coordinator of EqualHealth's Global Campaign Against Racism
