An engaging analysis. . . . Hunt calls forth a new way of looking at the Black cooperative movement and an alternative method for assessing its meaning and impact. . . . [I]ncisive and compelling.""--Journal of Southern History

""[Dreaming the Present] engages critically with a debate that remains pivotal in utopian and communal studies--what are the parameters by which to determine if utopian practices are 'successful'? . . . Hunt successfully brings together Black studies and critical theory on temporalities and on activism to highlight how these cooperatives cannot and should not be evaluated by longevity, membership numbers, turnover, amassed capital, etc., and that we, as scholars in utopian studies, need to consider how breaking with these logics of racist capitalism, as epitomized in Antiblackness, is a disruption of time that is possibly utopian in itself.""--Utopian Studies ""An engaging analysis. . . .
