Marxism, Reparations & the Black Freedom Struggle

From the daily instances of police brutality and racial profiling to the government’s callous disregard of poor and mainly African American people in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina, this remarkable book identifies the continuing struggles for justice among a society still permeated with the racism, oppression, and economic, political, and social discrimination that resulted from the horrendous transatlantic slave trade. Illuminating the often forgotten history of this diaspora and the legacy of brutal prejudice that stemmed from it, this critical argument discusses the fight for reparations within the United States as well as among the peoples of Africa and the Caribbean.
